    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor system including: a fault detector configured to obtain fault information related to a fault occurring in a first intellectual property (IP); a fault manager configured to store recovery information providing one or more recovery methods related to the fault information and determine a recovery method for recovering the fault occurring in the first IP among the one or more recovery methods based on the recovery information; and a fault recovery module configured to control the first IP based on the determined recovery method. The determined recovery method involves communication between the first IP and a second IP and the fault occurring in the first IP is recovered based on data delivered according to the communication between the first IP and the second IP.

    Abstract: A multi-core processor connected to main memory or peripheral device and having dual modular redundancy mode in which each processor performs the same task includes a first processor which generates first write-in data by performing the task, and writes the first write-in data to the main memory or peripheral device after fault detection operation on the first write-in data, a second processor which generates second write-in data by performing the task, and prevents writing of the second write-in data to the main memory or peripheral device after the fault detection operation on the second write-in data, and a fault manager which performs the fault detection operation by comparing the first write-in data with the second write-in data in the mode, wherein the first write-in data is written to the main memory using first data cache, which is managed using dirty bit indicating whether to synchronize with the main memory.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for recovering the functionality of central processing unit core are disclosed herein. The apparatus for recovering the functionality of a central processing unit (CPU) core includes a functionality recovery buffer and a functionality recovery module unit. The functionality recovery buffer temporarily stores a value, to be stored in a register storage unit, in response to a write operation. The functionality recovery module unit performs the recovery of functionality by controlling the functionality recovery buffer when receiving a signal, indicating that a failure has been detected, from the outside.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for computing an error rate comprising: a first circuit interface being connected to a first sub-circuit receiving data and computing output data through a predetermined computation process; a second circuit interface and being connected to a first test circuit receiving the same data, which is inputted to the first sub-circuit, and computing output data through the predetermined computation process; an error injecting part injecting an error to the first test circuit; an error detecting part comparing output data of the first sub-circuit to output data of the first test circuit; and an error rate computing part computing input node error probability of the first sub-circuit by statistic processing of the compared result. The apparatus and method for computing error rate of the present invention is able to shorten the time required to obtain error probability, compared to the direct simulation of the full circuit.

    Abstract: A multi-core processor having a first operation mode in which processors perform the same task and a second operation mode in which the processors perform different tasks includes first and second processors configured to write an operation mode value to a first register or second register when a function called in executed software requests the first or second operation mode, a manager configured to assign core IDs of the first and second processors according to the operation mode value stored in the first register or second register, and a reset controller configured to reset the first and second processors in response to the function, wherein the manager assigns the same core ID to the first and second processors when the operation mode value indicates the first operation mode, and allocates different core IDs to the first and second processors when the operation mode value indicates the second operation mode.
