Asynchronous On-Chip Networks and Fault-Tolerant Techniques

This book is the first comprehensive study of fault-tolerance and fault-caused deadlock effects in asynchronous on-chip networks, aiming to overcome these drawbacks and ensure greater reliability of applications. By adopting a new redundant code and dynamic fault detection and recovery scheme, asynchronous on-chip networks can be hardened to tolerate both transient and permanent faults and overcome fault-caused deadlocks. It will serve as an essential guide for researchers and students studying interconnection networks, fault-tolerant computing, asynchronous system design, circuit design, and on-chip networking.

The first comprehensive study of fault-tolerance and fault-caused deadlock effects in asynchronous on-chip networks is presented in this book. Aiming to overcome these drawbacks and ensure greater reliability of applications, it delves into the challenges faced by asynchronous on-chip networks, which can be vulnerable to faults despite their lower energy and area consumption compared to synchronous counterparts. Faults can not only corrupt data transmission but also lead to a unique type of deadlock, making it crucial to develop robust solutions.

To address these challenges, the authors propose a novel redundant code along with a dynamic fault detection and recovery scheme. Through rigorous analysis and experimental validation, they demonstrate that asynchronous on-chip networks can be efficiently hardened to tolerate both transient and permanent faults, effectively overcoming fault-caused deadlocks.

This book serves as an essential guide for researchers and students studying interconnection networks, fault-tolerant computing, asynchronous system design, circuit design, and on-chip networking. It also caters to professionals interested in designing fault-tolerant and high-throughput asynchronous circuits. By providing a comprehensive understanding of fault-tolerance techniques in asynchronous on-chip networks, this book contributes to the advancement of this field and enables the development of more reliable and efficient computing systems.
