Leveraging the Potential of Control-Flow Error Resilient Techniques in Multithreaded Programs
This paper presents a software-based technique to recover control-flow errors
in multithreaded programs. Control-flow error recovery is achieved through
inserting additional instructions into multithreaded program at compile time
regarding to two dependency graphs. These graphs are extracted to model
control-flow and data dependencies among basic blocks and thread interactions
between different threads of a program. In order to evaluate the proposed
technique, three multithreaded benchmarks quick sort, matrix multiplication and
linked list utilized to run on a multi-core processor, and a total of 5000
transient faults has been injected into several executable points of each
program. The results show that this technique detects and corrects between
91.9% and 93.8% of the injected faults with acceptable performance and memory
overheads
