Methods and systems for a scalable self-checking processing platform are described herein. According to one embodiment, during an execution frame, a first processing element executes both a high-criticality application and a first low-criticality application. During that same execution frame, a second processing element executes both the high-criticality application and a second low-criticality application. The high-criticality application output from the first processing element is compared with that from the second processing element before the next execution frame, and a fault occurs when the output does not match. The low-criticality application is not duplicated or compared. This and other embodiments allow high-criticality applications to be appropriated checked while avoiding the over-dedication of resources to low-criticality applications that do not warrant self-checking.
