Thermal neutrons sensitivity of memories and computing devices
Abstract: Modern devices include Boron-10 in the Silicon doping. The interaction between B-10 and thermal neutrons is likely to generate alpha particles, which lead to transient faults. The goal of this proposal is to continue our evaluation of the resilience of modern memories (DDR3, DDR4) and computing devices. We will study the neutron sensitivity of modern System on Chips embedding ARM core (with the BIG-little technology), FPGA programmable logic, Graphics Processing Units, and multi-core processors. During our experiments we will run object-detection frameworks for automotive applications implementing the hardening solutions we have developed based on previous experiments results.
