Analysing the Impact of Atmospheric Neutrons on Zynq MPSoC Accelerated Applications

Abstract: System-on-Chip FPGAs (SoC-FPGAs) are increasingly used in several areas, such as datacenters and edge applications, to improve energy efficiency and computation latency. However, modern SoC-FPGAs are susceptible to Single Event Upsets (SEUs) that can corrupt the device?s configuration and user memories, leading to application failures. In May 2021, the University of Piraeus, the University of Manchester, and scientists from the RAL ISIS facility performed neutron radiation experiments to characterize a Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC and evaluate the reliability of datacenter applications, most of which were SW-only designs. This proposal continues research in the same direction, but with an emphasis on evaluating the reliability of various SW/HW co-design applications targeting the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC and the Zynq-7020 APSoC device.
