Collaborative Research: Globally Optimized Robust Systems on Multi-Core Hardware

该项目的重点是以最低的成本设计强大的、对硬件故障具有弹性的多核系统。这是由于未来工艺技术中日益严重的硬件故障问题导致的硬件设计模式即将发生转变。中心愿景是开发技术和工具，用于设计跨多个抽象层进行全局优化的分层、健壮的多核系统？电路、架构、运行时和应用？而不会招致昂贵的冗余技术的高成本。一种跨学科的方法将整合研究和教育，以支持未来强大的系统。由于其交叉性质，拟议的研究有可能对未来的系统产生重大影响，使未来的技术能够扩展，从而使日常生活变得更好。

The focus of this project is on designing robust multi-core systems at lowest cost that are resilient to hardware failures. It is motivated by an imminent paradigm shift in hardware design resulting from the growing problem of hardware failures in future process technologies. The central vision is to develop techniques and tools for designing hierarchical robust multi-core systems that are globally optimized across multiple abstraction layers ? circuit, architecture, runtime, and application ? without incurring the high cost of expensive redundancy techniques. An inter disciplinary approach will integrate research and education required to enable future robust systems. Because of its cross-cutting nature, the proposed research has the potential of having a major impact on future systems, enabling future technology scaling, thus making everyday lives better.
