Fault Tolerance in HLS for the Purposes of Reliable System Design Automation

In the presentation, existing method to insert redundancy into HLS-generated systems will be briefly described alongside with its improvement in the form of a majority function selection. We found out that the type of the majority function affects not only the resulting reliability, but also the resources consumption. The presentation also addresses the level of redundancy selection, as we evaluated various numbers of redundant modules with multiple fault occurrences. The case study experiments are carried out with our robot verification platform utilizing the so-called left-hand algorithm and fault injection into a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementing the robot controller. This approach is not limited to FPGAs, however, we use an FPGA technology during the evaluation for its wide range of applications and its versatility.
