Abstract :
Resilient techniques are commonly employed for dynamic and static variation tolerance. In this paper, we present an adaptive clocking technique that achieves 31% throughput increase with 15% energy reduction, and an adaptive interconnect fabric technique that increases bandwidth by 63% with 14.6% energy reduction. We also discuss variations in many-core microprocessors and some techniques to enable a resilient many-core system on a chip.
