Abstract* : In this paper we propose two algorithm-level time redundancy based Concurrent Error Detection (CED) schemes that exploit diversity in a Register Transfer (RT) level implementation. RT level diversity can be achieved either by changing the operation-to-operator allocation (allocation diversity) or by shifting the operands before re-computation (data diversity). By enabling a fault to affect the normal result and the re-computed result in two different ways, RT level diversity yields good CED capability with low area overhead. We used Synopsys Behavior Complier (BC) to implement the technique.
