WDA-3 2008

3rd Workshop on Dependable Architectures (extends previously held Workshop on Architectural Reliability - WAR)

In conjunction with the

41st International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO-41)

Sunday, November 9, 2008 Lake Como, Italy

Scope

Current computer technology trends present to the hardware and software designer novel opportunities to improve performance and at the same time many challenges to overcome. One of the formidable challenges is to provide dependable operation - in terms of reliability and availability - for a system made of unreliable components.

The combination of various developments brought dependability to prominence: soft-error rate is projected to increase with scaling; variability due to non-deterministic placement of dopant atoms and channel length is increasing design margins; better than worst-case design techniques for power/performance require error detection/correction; aggressive application of power-saving mechanisms such as clock- and Vdd-gating are increasing voltage droops; the verification manpower budget is becoming a significant part of the design effort; oxide breakdown and electromigration are decreasing processor lifetimes.

New research frontiers are therefore open for exploration that will lead to the discovery and development of dependable architectures, this includes research at all design levels: circuit, architecture, compiler, OS and network. This workshop aims to become a forum for academia and industry to discuss and present ideas and recent developments in the design and evaluation of dependable architectures both software and hardware.

I think the drug industry is thtaerened by AA. Bill Wilson was VERY interested in vitamin therapy but that information gets suppressed. If you want to get clean and sober you have GOT to get your body healthy WITHOUT pharmaceutical drugs designed to keep you dependent. VITAMINS HELP. SUPPLEMENTS HELP. COLLOIDAL SILVER KICKS ASS! CHECK OUT THE FREE INFO AT CANADIAN WEBSITES ABOUT HEALTH cures that work but we aren't supposed to know about cuz they we wouldn't spend billions on crap.
