Multi-layer software reliability for unreliable hardware Shafique, Muhammad Axer, Philip Borchert, Christoph Chen, Jian-Jia Chen, Kuan-Hsun Döbel, Björn Ernst, Rolf Härtig, Hermann Heinig, Andreas Kapitza, Rüdiger Kriebel, Florian Lohmann, Daniel Marwedel, Peter Rehman, Semeen Schmoll, Florian Spinczyk, Olaf <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This paper presents a multi-layer software reliability approach that leverages multiple software layers (e. g., programming language, compiler, and operating system) to improve the overall system reliability considering unreliable or partly-reliable hardware. We present a comprehensive design flow that integrates multiple software layers while accounting for the knowledge from lower hardware layers. We show how multiple software layers synergistically operate to achieve a high degree of reliability.</jats:p> Walter de Gruyter GmbH 2015 info:eu-repo/semantics/article doc-type:article text http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 https://ris.uni-paderborn.de/record/66260 Shafique M, Axer P, Borchert C, et al.
