Error Permissive Computing: a New Approach
for Post Moore’s Computer System Design
Abstract We are exploring a new concept of error permissive computing that improves the
capability and capacity while drastically reducing power consumption. More specifically, we
controllably allow hardware errors and develop system software to assure acceptable computational
results. For example, an error correction technique can result in increased latency and reduced
capacity. By taking a holistic approach across the layers from hardware to software, lightweight and
appropriate error correction is performed at the software layer while eliminating general purpose
error correction in hardware layer.

BITFLEX Full Stack
(OpenMP Extension)
ADAPT Case Study: Pi Accumulator
• We require an attractive means
of boosting performance and
maintaining accuracy in non-
deterministic applications.
• Solution: BITFLEX framework
incorporated in MCXX compiler.
• We propose an extension of
OpenMP as follows:
#pragma omp nondeter <parameters>
Analysis and modeling of bit-flip errors
in voltage-driven MRAM
• The write error ratio of each memory cell is different
due to the variation of magnetic anisotropy (σ).
FPGA-based new memory device emulator [2]
• Emulate the behavior of new memory devices (latency,
bandwidth, bit error ratio) with high accurate.
• Enable detailed performance evaluation of new system software
mechanisms.
