A novel concurrent error detection scheme for FFT networks

Abstract
The algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques have been proposed to obtain reliableresults at very low hardware overhead. Even though 100% fault coverage can betheoretically obtained by using these techniques, the system performance, i.e., faultcoverage and throughput, can be drastically reduced due to many practical problems,e.g., round-off errors. A novel algorithm-based fault tolerance scheme is proposed forfast Fourier transform (FFT) networks. It is shown that the proposed scheme achieves100% fault coverage theoretically. An accurate measure of the fault coverage for FFTnetworks is provided by taking the round-off error into account. The proposed scheme isshown to provide concurrent error detection capability to FFT networks with lowhardware overhead, high throughput, and high fault coverage.
