Multi-layer software reliability for unreliable hardware <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> 57 3 170-180 170-180 Walter de Gruyter GmbH
