Characterizing the Effects of Intermittent Faults on a Processor for Dependability Enhancement Strategy

Table 8

Outcome categories description.

Outcome categories	Groups	Description
Dead lock	𝑢 and p	All threads no activity for 3000 cycles, global timeout
Invalid packet request	𝑢 and p	An invalid request packet is provoked and the processor is in idle state because of an invalid request packet
Short	𝑢 and p	Thread completes prematurely before the expected execution time
Incomplete execution	p	Thread is not complete in the expected time (normal execution time + 10% extra time margin)
Bad trap	p	Incorrect thread execution result
Latent	p	Execution result of the thread is correct without a crash

𝑢: 𝑢-architectural group, p: propagated group.
