ECE 1165 - DEPENDABLE SYSTEMS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Long Description The field of dependable computing has recently emerged as one of the most important areas of study in computer and electrical engineering. Modern computer systems are susceptible to a broad range of potential faults, errors, and failures, and increasing chip density and design complexity exacerbate the problem. Novel methods in hardware, information, network, software, and time redundancy are now available to mitigate these threats in the form of resilient computer architectures, apps, and systems. The focus of studies here is the design and analysis of dependable machines, from small embedded systems to space-based platforms to high-end supercomputers, in terms of reliability, availability, performability, testability, and safety metrics, and more.
