Abstract
This paper presents adaptive variation-and-error-resilient agent (AVERA), an approach to address the challenge of designing reliable systems in the presence of soft errors and variations. AVERA extends our previous built-in soft error resilience (BISER) approach by adding additional capabilities to support process variation diagnosis, degradation detection, and system adaptation, besides soft error correction. We also discuss open challenges for building variation-and-error-resilient systems.
