This paper examines a software implemented self-checking technique that is capable of detecting processorregisters' hardware-transient faults. The proposed approach is intended to detect run-time transient bit-errors in memory and processor status register. Error correction is not considered here. However, this low-cost approach is intended to be adopted in commodity systems that use ordinary off-the-shelf microprocessors, for the purpose of operational faults detection towards gaining fail-safe kind of fault tolerant system.
