Summary:A description is given of alternative implementations of such
circuits and various ways in which they can be connected in VLSI
modules. The authors also describe possible performance enhancements
through the use of a technique, called micro rollback, which allows
error detection to be performed in parallel with intermodule
communication. As a concrete example, they present area and performance
measurements of alternative microarchitectures and circuits that can be
used to add detection and correction to a VLSI RISC processor they are
implementing
