Methods, apparatuses, systems, and implementations of a zero silent data corruption (ZDC) compiler technique are disclosed. The ZDC technique may use an effective instruction duplication approach to protect programs from soft errors. The ZDC may also provide an effective control flow checking mechanism to detect most control flow errors. The ZDC technique may provide a failure percentage close to zero while incurring a lower performance overhead than prior art systems. The ZDC may also be effectively applied in a multi-thread environment.
