Evaluations of Resettable Stateful NMR

We give the basic concept of that, Stateful NMR, Stateful NMR attaches reliability evaluation to conventional NMR, where the result of majority voting is modified and corrected by the reliability assessment. However, Stateful TMR has weak point that two module state might change at the same time. Thus, we propose an improved version of Stateful NMR, Resettable Stateful NMR, which improves the fault tolerance by restoring reliability assessment. We evaluate MTTF, both Stateful NMR and Resettable Stateful NMR. The Resettable Stateful TMR obtains higher MTTF than the Stateful NMR.
