Title
Dependability evaluation of COTS microprocessors via on-chip debugging facilities
Abstract
This paper presents a fault injection system for performing fault injection campaigns on Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) microprocessors. The proposed system takes advantage of the debug facilities of modern microprocessors along with standard GNU Debugger (GDB) for executing and debugging benchmarks. The developed experiments on real boards, as well as on virtual machines, demonstrate the feasibility and flexibility of the proposal as a low-cost solution for assessing the reliability of COTS microprocessors.
