| Popis: | Networks-on-Chip have become a widely accepted communication paradigm for many-core Systems-on-Chip. However, with the ever-shrinking transistor size, the network's sensitivity to transient faults on the physical links cannot be ignored since even a single transient fault can lead to a network-wide congestion and a system failure. This paper proposes the AWAIT mechanism, an ultra-lightweight transient fault mitigation mechanism for Network-on-Chip links. The proposed mechanism covers all single event transients. The experimental results show that the AWAIT mechanism prevents network-wide failure even in harsh environments (up to 80 million random faults on links per second). The AWAIT mechanism is also scalable and imposes only 5.1 % area overhead with very negligible critical path delay overhead. |
