CASSER: A Closed-Form Analysis Framework for Statistical Soft Error Rate

Probabilistic Soft Error Rate Estimation from Statistical SEU Parameters∗

Nanometer CMOS VLSI circuits are highly sensitive to soft errors, also known as single-event upsets (SEU) that induce current pulses at random times and at random locations in a digital circuit. Environmental causes of SEU include cosmic radiation and high-energy particles. Our neutron induced soft error rate (SER) estimation method propagates single event transient (SET) pulses through the aff...

A CLOSED FORM SOLUTION FOR FREE VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF TUBE-IN-TUBE SYSTEMS IN TALL BUILDINGS

In this paper the dynamic response of tube-in-tube systems for tall building structures is investigated. Inner and outer tubes are modeled using equivalent continuous orthotropic membranes; in which, each tube is individually modeled by a cantilever box beam. By applying the compatibility conditions on deformation of the two tubes, the governing dynamic equations of the tube-in-tube structure a...

Closed-Form Error Analysis on RSS-based Indoor Localization Method

Received Signal Strength (RSS) is considered as a promising measurement for indoor positioning. Lots of RSS-based localization methods have been proposed by its convenience and low cost. This paper focuses on two challenging issues in RSS-based localization schemes: finding optimal localization algorithms and knowing what affects the accuracy of these algorithms. Through theoretical and experim...

A Framework based on Boolean Satisfiability for Soft Error Rate Computation in Early Design Stages

Soft errors, due to cosmic radiations, are the major reliability barrier for VLSI designs. The vulnerability of such systems to soft errors grows exponentially with technology scaling. To meet reliability constraints in a cost-effective way, it is critical to assess soft error reliability parameters in early design stage to optimize reliability in the entire design cycle. Unlike soft error mode...
