摘要： An instruction processing pipeline having error detection and error recovery circuitry associated with one or more of the pipeline stages. If an error is detected within a signal value within that pipeline stage, then it can be repaired. Part of the error recovery may be to flush upstream program instructions from the instruction pipeline. When multi-threading, only those instructions from a thread including an instruction which has been lost as a consequence of the error recovery need be flushed from the instruction pipeline. The instruction pipeline may additionally/alternatively be provided with more than one main storage element associated with each signal value with these main storage elements used in an alternating fashion such that if a signal value has been erroneously captured and needs to be repaired, there is still available a main storage element to properly capture the signal value corresponding to the following program instruction.

摘要： A data processing apparatus has error detection units each configured to generate an error signal if a first and second sample of a signal associated with execution of an instruction differ. Error value generation circuitry generates an error value showing if any of the error detection units have generated the error signal. Error value stabilisation circuitry performs a stabilisation procedure comprising re-sampling the error value to remove metastability. Error recovery circuitry initiates re-execution of the instruction if the error value is asserted. Count circuitry holds a counter value in association with the error value, the counter value set to a predetermined value when the error value is generated and decremented each time the error value is re-sampled prior to reaching the error value stabilisation circuitry. The error value bypasses the stabilisation procedure if the counter value is zero before the error value reaches the error value stabilisation circuitry.
摘要翻译：数据处理装置具有错误检测单元，每个错误检测单元被配置为如果与指令的执行相关联的信号的第一和第二采样不同，则生成错误信号。错误值产生电路产生一个错误值，显示任何错误检测单元是否产生了错误信号。误差值稳定电路执行稳定程序，包括重新采样误差值以消除亚稳态。错误恢复电路如果错误值被确认则启动指令的重新执行。计数电路与错误值相关联地保持计数器值，当误差值被产生并且每当在到达误差值稳定电路之前重新采样误差值时递减，计数器值被设置为预定值。如果在错误值到达故障值稳定电路之前计数器值为零，则误差值会绕过稳定程序。

摘要： An integrated circuit is provided with error detection circuitry and error repair circuitry. Error tolerance circuitry is responsive to a control parameter to selectively disable the error repair circuitry. The control parameter is dependent on the processing performed within the circuit. For example, the control parameter may be generated in dependence upon the program instruction being executed, the output signal value which is in error, the previous behavior of the circuit or in other ways.

摘要： An instruction processing pipeline 6 is provided. This has error detection and error recovery circuitry 20 associated with one or more of the pipeline stages. If an error is detected within a signal value within that pipeline stage, then it can be repaired. Part of the error recovery may be to flush upstream program instructions from the instruction pipeline 6. When multi-threading, only those instructions from a thread including an instruction which has been lost as a consequence of the error recovery need to be flushed from the instruction pipeline 6. Instruction can also be selected for flushing in dependence upon characteristics such as privileged level, number of dependent instructions etc. The instruction pipeline may additionally/alternatively be provided with more than one main storage element 26, 28 associated with each signal value with these main storage elements 26, 28 being used in an alternating fashion such that if a signal value has been erroneously captured and needs to be repaired, there is still available a main storage element 26, 28 to properly capture the signal value corresponding to the following program instruction. In this way flushes can be avoided.

Both the logic circuit 10 and sequential storage elements 8 can be subject to particle strikes giving rise to single event upset errors.

摘要： An integrated circuit 2 is provided with a plurality of pipeline stages 10. These pipeline stages 10 have speculative processing control circuitry 12 which permits speculative processing in downstream pipeline stages and triggers a first error recovery operation (partial pipeline flushing) if such speculative processing is determined to be based upon an error. The pipeline stage 10 further includes speculative error detecting circuitry 14 which generates a prediction nc regarding whether or not the processing circuitry 18 will produce an error. This prediction is used to trigger a second error recovery operation (partial pipeline stall). This second error recovery operation has a lower performance penalty than the first error recovery operation.

摘要： An apparatus and method are provided for detecting an approaching error condition within a data processing apparatus and includes a sequential storage structure arranged to latch an output signal generated by combinatorial circuitry dependent on a second clock signal. The sequential storage structure has a main storage element to latch a value of the output signal for provision to subsequent combinatorial circuitry. The sequential storage structure can be operated in either first or second modes of operation where, in the first mode, the predetermined timing window is ahead of a time at which the main storage element latches said value of the output signal enabling an approaching setup timing error to be detected. In the second mode, the predetermined timing window is after the time at which the main storage element latches said value of the output signal where an approaching hold timing error is detected.

摘要： An integrated circuit comprising a plurality of sensors configured to sense variations in supply voltage levels at points within the integrated circuit is disclosed. The plurality of sensors are distributed across the integrated circuit and have transistor devices such that process variations in the transistor devices within the sensors are such that a sensing result will have a random voltage offset that has a predetermined probability of lying within a pre-defined voltage offset range. The integrated circuit is configured to transmit results from multiple ones of the plurality of sensors to processing circuitry such that the variations in the supply voltage levels can be determined with a voltage offset range that is reduced compared to the pre-defined voltage offset range.
