Tolerating Errors in NoC: A Lightweight Region-Based Fault-Mitigation Method

Abstract

Due to transistor shrinking and core number increasing in System-on-Chip (SoC), fault tolerance has become essential. Faults occurring to Network-on-Chips (NoCs) of those systems have a significant impact, due to the high amount of data crossing the NoC for communication. However, existing fault correction approaches cannot efficiently address several permanent faults on NoC NoC, due to their high hardware costs. To mitigate the impact of faults, existing works shuffle the bits inside a flit, transferring the impact of faults on the least significant bits. However, such approaches are applied at a fine-grained level, providing fault mitigation efficiency but with significant hardware costs. To address this limitation, this work proposes a region-based bit-shuffling technique, applied at a coarse-grain level, that trades off fault mitigation efficiency in order to save hardware costs.
