Systems and methods for scalable block-based permanent safety fault tolerance

Abstract

A method includes detecting a functional safety fault and determining whether the functional safety fault is a transient fault or a permanent fault. The method further includes identifying a scalable block of a processing unit from which the functional safety fault occurred in response to the functional safety fault being determined to be a permanent fault. The method optionally includes power collapsing the scalable block. The method also includes notifying a scheduler to prevent the scheduler from scheduling future workloads to the scalable block.
