Optimizing software-directed instruction replication for GPU error detection

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1771561

Software-only and software-hardware optimizations to reduce the overhead of intra-thread instruction duplication on a GPU or other instruction processor are disclosed. The optimizations trade off error containment for performance and include ISA extensions with limited hardware changes and area costs.
