The PERFECT program seeks to “provide the technologies and techniques to overcome the power efficiency barriers that currently constrain embedded computing systems capabilities and limit the potential of future embedded systems.” Importantly, a key component of this is resiliency, an area for which a recent CCC visioning activity on Cross-Layer Reliability led by Andre’ DeHon, Nick Carter, and Heather Quinn proffered a research roadmap.
