Synopsis

This book describes novel software concepts to increase reliability under user-defined constraints.  The authors’ approach bridges, for the first time, the reliability gap between hardware and software. Readers will learn how to achieve increased soft error resilience on unreliable hardware, while exploiting the inherent error masking characteristics and error (stemming from soft errors, aging, and process variations) mitigations potential at different software layers.

About the Author

Muhammad Shafique received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) , Germany in 2011. Before, he was with Streaming Networks Pvt. Ltd.  (2003-06) and WorldCall Multimedia  (2001). Mr. Shafique received his B.Sc. Engineering degree (4 Gold Medals) from University of Engineering and Technology (UET)  Lahore, Pakistan in 2000. He then completed his Masters in Information Technology (2 Gold Medals) from Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS)  in 2003. He has also acquired an in-depth understanding of various video coding standards (HEVC , H.264/AVC , MVC, MPEG-1/2/4).
