Fault Tolerance and the Five-Second Rule

We propose a new approach to fault tolerance that we call bounded-time recovery (BTR). BTR is intended for systems that need strong timeliness guarantees during normal operation but can tolerate short outages in an emergency, e.g., when they are under attack. We argue that BTR could be a good fit for many cyber-physical systems. We also sketch a technical approach to providing BTR, and we discuss some challenges that still remain

Warp: A Hardware Platform for Efficient Multi- Modal Sensing with Adaptive Approximation

We present Warp, the first open hardware platform designed explicitly to support research in approximate computing. Warp incorporates 21 sensors, computation, and circuit-level facilities designed explicitly to enable approximate computing research, in a 3.6 cm×3.3 cm×0.5 cm area. Warp uses these facilities to support a wide range of precision and accuracy versus power and performance tradeoffs
