•Martin Radetzki, University of Stuttgart, Germany, martin.radetzki@informatik.uni-stuttgart.de
Abstract:
The tutorial will review the failure mechanisms, fault models, diagnosis techniques, and fault tolerance methods in on-chip networks and will survey and summarize the research of the last ten years. The tutorial is structured along three communication layers: the data link, the network and the transport layers. The most important results will be summarized and open research problems and challenges will be given to guide future research on this topic.
