Abstract: When migrating to future technology nodes, dependability becomes a major design problem as variability, aging and susceptibility to soft errors increase. The purpose of this program is to research cross-layer solutions that address the physical problems at system-level i.e. at hardware-level, operating system level, application level etc. The goals and an overview of the DFG SPP 1500 research program are presented.
