Abstract
A method for detecting computational errors in a digital processor executing a program. The program is divided into a plurality of computation sections, and two functionally identical code segments, respectively comprising a primary segment and a secondary segment, are generated for one of the computation sections. The primary segment is executed, after which a temporal diversity timer is started. The secondary segment is then executed upon expiration of the timer. The respective results of execution of the primary segment and the secondary segment are compared after completion of execution of the secondary segment, and an error indication is provided if the respective results are not identical.
