  2. Reliable Networks on Chip fault-tolerant routing Drain up $ recovery detection diagnosis recon-figuratio R Diagnose what fault has occurred Detect if fault has occurred Reconfigure network to account for fault Recover and resume normal operation processor nodes are disconnected, state is lost! cache router

  3. Recovery Approaches • Checkpoint/recovery approaches • Drain takes a reactive approach, incurring performance overhead only when errors occur uP uP $ $ checkpoint buffers R R MEM high performance overhead! data stuck in checkpoint buffer!

  4. Data Recovery with Drain • Recover data lost during reconfiguration • Emergency links provide alternate path • Transfers cache contents and architectural state processor u P u P u P . . . . core . . . . . . . . . . . . . . local cache ... ... $ $ $ DRAIN emergency link ... ... . . . . . . . . .

  6. Drain Example up up $ $ up up link failure X $ $ M

  7. Drain Example up up $ $ reconfigure interconnect up up $ $ M

  8. Drain Example up up $ $ up up $ $ X M link failure

  9. Drain Example up up $ $ node isolated! up up $ $ M

  10. Drain Example up up $ $ drain connected nodes via primary links up up $ $ M

  11. Drain Example up up $ $ up up $ $ drain disconnected node via emergency link M

  12. Drain Example up up $ $ up up $ $ drain connected node again M

  13. Drain Example up up $ $ resume normal operation up up $ $ M

  14. Drain Performance as Links Fail decreasing functional network size increasing emergency link time

  15. Memory Latency Before and After

  16. Conclusions • DRAIN is a lightweight recovery mechanism for CMPs • 5,000 gates per node • Recoup cache data and architectural state from disconnected nodes • Performance overhead only during recovery • ~3ms at 1GHz
