ABSTRACT:
A multithreaded architecture is disclosed for managing external memory updates for fault detection in redundant multithreading systems using speculative memory support. In particular, a method provides input replication of load values on a SRT processor by using speculative memory support to isolate redundant threads form external updates. This method thus avoids the need for dedicated structures to provide input replication.
