When we detect an error in processing in a CPU core, the core can go through a transparent recovery action. This is a complete core reset—almost like a mini-reboot of the core, but the program state, program location, and all the register contents are recovered. So after recovery, we continue running wherever we were [running] in the program. It's completely transparent to the software layers. This is a “core recovery.” If a core goes through too many restarts, the contents of the core can be moved to a spare core. This is a “brain transplant.”
