<p>The authors describe a methodology for modeling fault effects on system behavior and evaluate the methodology through an experimental fault injection, study. The methodology characterizes a workload under faulted conditions, and then uses workload attributes such as instruction usage to infer the fault behavior of other workloads. A model of workload attributes required to predict faulty behavior, is presented and evaluated.</p>
