Neutron-Induced Effects on Cutting-Edge Commercial Real-Time Processors for Safety-Critical Embedded Applications

Abstract: Functional safety is of ever-increasing concern for modern electronic devices, particularly in safety-critical applications. Automotive and aerospace applications demand utmost functional safety and robustness to immunise the digital system from malfunction or hazardousness.The goal of this experiment is to analyse and evaluate the error vulnerability of modern CPUs with enhanced error management and extended safety configurations for safety-critical applications. Moreover, we would like to analyse the error rates for different software programs running on embedded Arm cores and characterise features of individual programs based on soft error vulnerabilities. As the researchers have measured and characterised test failures produced by software fault injection in a CPU simulator, it is necessary that the off-the-shelf processors can be tested in neutron radiation experiments.
