Abstract
As technology scaling continues, computer systems are facing the challenge of reliability degradation. It is projected that the fault rates of nanoelectronic devices will be several orders of magnitude higher than that of conventional CMOS technology. How to build reliable systems from unreliable devices is becoming an increasingly challenging issue. Meanwhile, with abundant devices rendered by technology scaling, it is also important to convert massive computing horsepower to high performance. However, the requirements of reliability and performance are often competing for hardware resources. This compels us to find solutions to address the dual challenges in a unified manner. ^ This dissertation explores the architectural design of nanoscale integrated systems to address multiple challenges in reliability and performance. Several novel solutions are proposed for the design of memories and computing/signal processing systems. These solutions open up opportunities for design space exploration along many new dimensions to unfold the full potential of nanoscale integrated systems. ^
