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

这个项目的重点是以最低的成本设计健壮的多核系统，这些系统对硬件故障具有弹性。它的动机是硬件设计中迫在眉睫的范式转变，这是由于未来工艺技术中日益严重的硬件故障问题造成的。核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，运行时和应用程序？不会招致昂贵的冗余技术的高成本。跨学科的方法将整合研究和教育，以实现未来强大的系统。由于其跨领域的性质，拟议的研究有可能对未来的系统产生重大影响，使未来的技术规模化，从而使日常生活更美好。

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.
