“…Prata et al compared ABFT with result checking based on error coverage, overhead and ease of use [8]. In [2], ABFT for detection only was compared to detection and correction in terms of error coverage, memory size and execution time.…”

“…The manifestation was that one or more elements of the resultant matrix could be erroneous. The ABFT experiments performed in [2] used FERRARI to emulate transient bit flips at execution time within the address space of a program. In [12], the fault model used was a bit flip in a data entry during the execution.…”

“…some computations, ABFT can be implemented with low overhead as shown in [1] where the redundancy ratio was shown to decrease linearly as the matrix dimension was increased. In [2], it was shown that using ABFT for solving a linear system of equations, error detection required 13.1% memory overhead and 32% execution time overhead. Single error correction required 28% memory overhead and 73% execution time overhead.…”

“…Algorithm based fault tolerance (ABFT), proposed by Huang and Abraham (1984), is a fault tolerance scheme that uses Concurrent Error Detection (techniques at a functional level). System level applications of ABFT techniques have also been investigated (Acree, Ullah, Karia, Rahmeh, & Abraham, 1993;Banerjee, Rahmeh, Stunkel, Nair, Roy, & Abraham, 1990). These techniques assume a general fault model which allows any single module in the system to be faulty (Huang & Abraham, 1984).…”

In this paper, the authors present a new approach to algorithm based fault tolerance (ABFT) for High Performance computing system. The Algorithm Based Fault Tolerance approach transforms a system that does not tolerate a specific type of fault, called the fault-intolerant system, to a system that provides a specific level of fault tolerance, namely recovery. The ABFT techniques that detect errors rely on the comparison of parity values computed in two ways, the parallel processing of input parity values produce output parity values comparable with parity values regenerated from the original processed outputs, can apply convolution codes for the redundancy. This method is a new approach to concurrent error correction in fault-tolerant computing systems. This paper proposes a novel computing paradigm to provide fault tolerance for numerical algorithms. The authors also present, implement, and evaluate early detection in ABFT.
