rtoz writes "For handling the future unreliable chips, a research group at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has developed a new programming framework that enables software developers to specify when errors may be tolerable. The system then calculates the probability that the software will perform as it's intended. As transistors get smaller, they also become less reliable. This reliability won't be a major issue in some cases. For example, if few pixels in each frame of a high-definition video are improperly decoded, viewers probably won't notice — but relaxing the requirement of perfect decoding could yield gains in speed or energy efficiency." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=New+Framework+For+Programming+Unreliab le+Chips%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1amSL6x) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F11%2F04%2F1254253%2Fnew-framework-for-programming-unreliable-chips%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceb ook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/11/04/1254253/new-framework-for-programming-unreliable-chips?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
