A first-order mechanistic model for architectural vulnerability factor

A method for solving first order fuzzy differential equation

Measuring Architectural Vulnerability Factors

The continuous exponential growth in transistors per chip as described by Moore’s law has spurred tremendous progress in the functionality and performance of semiconductor devices, particularly microprocessors. At the same time, each succeeding technology generation has introduced new obstacles to maintaining this growth rate. Transient faults caused by single-event upsets have emerged as a key...

A Pure First Order Representation for Undamped Second Order Descriptor Systems

The aim of this paper is to analyze the undamped second order descriptor systems to show the possibility of transform an undamped second order descriptor system to a pure first order descriptor system ,on different ways, while stating some of its benefits. Meanwhile we will introduce pure first order systems and undamped second order systems and indicate that under some assumptions every undamp...

Architectural Vulnerability Factors for Address - Based Structures

Processor designers require estimates of the architectural vulnerability factor (AVF) of on-chip structures to make accurate soft error rate estimates. AVF is the fraction of faults from alpha particle and neutron strikes that result in user-visible errors. This paper shows how to use a performance model to calculate the AVF of address-based structures, using a data cache, a data translation bu...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
