Abstract
A computer system includes a simultaneous multi-threading processor and memory in operable communication with the processor. The processor is configured to perform a method including running multiple threads simultaneously, detecting a hardware error in one or more hardware structures of the processing circuit, and identifying one or more victim threads of the multiple threads. The processor is further configured to identify a plurality of hardware structures associated with execution of the one or more victim threads, isolate the one or more victim threads from the rest of the multiple threads by preventing access to the plurality of hardware structures by the multiple threads, flush the one or more victim threads by resetting hardware states of the plurality of hardware structures, and restore the one or more victim threads by restoring the plurality of hardware structures to a known safe state.
