Running Identical Threads in C-Slow Retiming based Designs for Functional Failure Detection
This paper shows the usage of C-Slow Retiming (CSR) in safety critical and
low power applications. CSR generates C copies of a design by reusing the given
logic resources in a time sliced fashion. When all C design copies are
stimulated with the same input values, then all C design copies should behave
the same way and will therefore create a redundant system. The paper shows that
this special method of using CSR offers great benefits when used in safety
critical and low power applications. Additional optimization techniques towards
reducing register count are shown and an on-the-fly recovery mechanism is
discussed
