In this paper, we present gem5-MARVEL, the first consolidated microarchitecture-level fault
injection infrastructure for heterogeneous System-on-Chip architectures comprising CPUs of …

Modern large-scale computing systems (data centers, supercomputers, cloud and edge
setups and high-end cyber-physical systems) employ heterogeneous architectures that …

CPUs typically operate at a voltage which is higher than what is strictly required, using
voltage margins to account for process variability and anticipate any combination of adverse …

Modern large-scale computing systems (data centers, supercomputers, cloud and edge
setups and high-end cyber-physical systems) employ heterogeneous architectures that …

Branch prediction units are key performance components in modern microprocessors as
they are widely used to address control hazards and minimize misprediction stalls. The …

In this paper, we present the results of our comprehensive measurement study of the timing
and voltage guardbands in memories and cores of a commodity ARMv8 based micro-server …

This work presents GeST (Generator for Stress-Tests): a framework for automatically
generating CPU stress-tests. The framework is based on genetic algorithm search and can …

Advances in reliability research have presented novel techniques for early identification of
upcoming failures (both long-term and short-term) as well as sophisticated isolation and …
