Summary: | Designing a complete SoC or reuse SoC components to create a complete system is a common task nowadays. The flexibility offered by current design flows offers the designer an unprecedented capability to incorporate more and more demanded features like error detection and correction mechanisms to increase the system dependability. This is especially true for programmable devices, were rapid design and implementation methodologies are coupled with testing environments that are easily generated and used. This paper describes the design of the HORUS processor, a RISC processor augmented with a concurrent error mechanism, the architectural modifications needed on the original design to minimize the resulting performance penalty. |
