Abstract:Proposed exascale systems will present considerable resiliency challenges. In particular, DRAM soft-errors, or bit-flips, are expected to greatly increase due to much higher memory density of these systems. Current hardware-based fault-tolerance methods cannot cope by itself with the expected soft error frequency rate. As a result, additional software is needed to address this challenge. We introduce FlipSphere, a tunable, transparent silent data corruption detection and correction library for HPC applications… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
