relOBI: A Reliable Low-latency Interconnect for Tightly-Coupled On-chip Communication

英文摘要

On-chip communication is a critical element of modern systems-on-chip (SoCs), allowing processor cores to interact with memory and peripherals. Interconnects require special care in radiation-heavy environments, as any soft error within the SoC interconnect is likely to cause a functional failure of the whole SoC. This work proposes relOBI, an extension to Open Bus Interface (OBI) combining triple modular redundancy (TMR) for critical handshake signals with error correction codes (ECC) protection on other signals for complete reliability. Implementing and testing a fully reliable crossbar shows improved reliability to injected faults from a vulnerability of 34.85 % to 0 % compared to a reference design, with an area increase of 2.6x and 1.4x timing impact. The area overhead is 1.8x lower than that reported in the literature for fine-grained triplication and voting.
