    摘要: Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for reducing the uncorrectable error rate in a lockstepped dual-modular redundancy system are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes two processor cores, a micro-checker, a global checker, and fault logic. The micro-checker is to detect whether a value from a structure in one core matches a value from the corresponding structure in the other core. The global checker is to detect lockstep failures between the two cores. The fault logic is to cause the two cores to be resynchronized if there is a lockstep error but the micro-checker has detected a mismatch.

    摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a system, which may be a multiprocessor system having multiple nodes, each with a processor and a cache. The system may include a directory stored in a memory that includes entries having coherency information. At least one of the nodes may be configured to detect an error in an entry of the directory based on a coherency protocol and a state of a status indicator and presence vector of the entry, and without the storage of error correction or parity information in the entry. In some embodiments, the node may correct the error using state information obtained from other nodes.
