Abstract
As transistor sizes decrease, transient faults are becom-
ing a significant concern for processor designers. A rich
body of research has focused on ways to estimate the vul-
nerability of systems to transient errors and on techniques
to reduce their sensitivity to soft errors. In this research,
we analyze how compiler optimizations impact the expected
