20100088554 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR CAPTURE OF FLOW CONTROL ERRORS IN CLOCK DOMAIN CROSSING DATA TRANSFERS - Apparatus methods for capturing flow control errors in FIFO exchanges between producing and consuming circuits operating in different clock domains. Tag information at the start of an exchange is transferred to a synchronizing component before data of a transfer transaction is entered in the FIFO. The tag information is also associated with each unit of data transferred to the FIFO by the producing circuit. The synchronizing component verifies the each unit of data retrieved by the consuming circuit has the expected tag information associated therewith and signals an error is the tag information does not match. Thus an error by the producing circuit in entering too much or too little data for a transfer is detected before erroneous data is retrieved and processed by the consuming circuit. | 04-08-2010 |
20130185604 | FAULT TOLERANT STABILITY CRITICAL EXECUTION CHECKING USING REDUNDANT EXECUTION PIPELINES - A circuit arrangement and method utilize existing redundant execution pipelines in a processing unit to execute multiple instances of stability critical instructions in parallel so that the results of the multiple instances of the instructions can be compared for the purpose of detecting errors. For other types of instructions for which fault tolerant or stability critical execution is not required or desired, the redundant execution pipelines are utilized in a more conventional manner, enabling multiple non-stability critical instructions to be concurrently issued to and executed by the redundant execution pipelines. As such, for non-stability critical program code, the performance benefits of having multiple redundant execution units are preserved, yet in the instances where fault tolerant or stability critical execution is desired for certain program code, the redundant execution units may be repurposed to provide greater assurances as to the fault-free execution of such instructions. | 07-18-2013 |
