Dynamic Trade-off among Fault Tolerance, Energy Consumption, and Performance on a Multiple-Issue VLIW Processor.

In the design of modern-day processors, energy consumption and fault tolerance have gained significant importance next to performance. This is caused by battery constraints, thermal design limits, and higher susceptibility to errors as transistor feature sizes are decreasing. However, achieving the ideal balance among them is challenging due to their conflicting nature (e.g., fault-tolerance techn...
