Abstract

The growing complexity and shrinking geometries of modern device technologies are making these high&#8211;density, low&#8211;voltage devices increasingly susceptible to influences from electrical noise, process variation, and natural radiation interference&#046; System&#8211;level effects of these errors can be far reaching&#046; Growing concern about intermittent errors, erratic storage cells, and the effects of aging are influencing system design&#046; This workshop provides a forum for discussing current research and practices in system&#8211;level error management&#046; Participants from industry and academia explore both current technologies and future research direction (including nanotechnology)&#046; We are interested in soliciting papers that cover system&#8211;level effects of errors from a variety of perspectives: architectural, logical and circuit&#8211;level, and semiconductor processes&#046;<br><b>Keywords:</b> • Technology trends and the impact on error rates&#046;<br>• New error mitigation techniques&#046;<br>• Characterizing the overhead and design complexity of error mitigation techniques&#046;<br>• Case studies describing the engineering tradeoffs necessary to decide what mitigation technique to apply&#046;<br>• Experimental data&#046;<br>• System&#8211;level models: derating factors and validation of error models&#046;<br>• Error handling protocols (higher&#8211;level protocols for robust system design)&#046;<br>
