CS290N Extra-Performance Computer Architecture Prof. Fred Chong FQ 2006 Problem Set 11 (Architectural Vulnerability Factor - Susmit Biswas) 1. Why is device or circuit level modeling not suitable for soft error analysis? 2. What is the difference between soft error in logic elements and storage elements? 3. Is there any need to model soft error for predictors? Why? 4. How will soft error rate depend on memory latency?
