Abstract
Hardening of an integrated circuit such as a GPU processor to soft errors caused by particle strikes is applied selectively to the set of devices according to the magnitude of error resulting from this soft error for the particular device. This approach differs from approaches that protect all devices, all devices likely to produce an output error, or all devices that are vulnerable.
