This book describes novel software concepts to increase
reliability under user-defined constraints. The authors’
approach bridges, for the first time, the reliability gap between
hardware and software. Readers will learn how to achieve
increased soft error resilience on unreliable hardware, while
exploiting the inherent error masking characteristics and error
(stemming from soft errors, aging, and process variations)
mitigations potential at different software layers.
