This paper examines the problem of recovering from processor transient faults in pipelined multiprocessor systems. A pipelined machine allows out of order instruction execution and branch prediction to increase performance, thus a precise computation state may not be available. We propose a modified scheme to implement the precise computation state in a pipelined machine. The goal of this research is to implement a checkpointing and rollback for error recovery in a pipelined system based on the technique to achieving precise computation state. Detailed analysis has been performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.
