SESEE: A Soft Error Simulation and Estimation Engine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Soft errors are radiation induced ionization events that upset the logic state of the circuit. The sources of these radiations are cosmic in origin; hence traditionally these upsets affected the space and aviation electronics. Due to technology scaling, these upsets are manifesting as errors in general off-the-shelf electronics circuits and hence a good simulation and error estimation tool is needed. In this work we present a new tool called Soft Error Simulation and Estimation Engine (SESEE). In this tool we simulate neutron induced soft error from basic principles, and use this information along with the information from circuit layout and spice-level simulation to calculate the circuit’s soft error rate (SER). Also as a case study the soft error rate of a custom SRAM array is

This paper proposes a soft-error model for accurately estimating reliability of a computer system at the architectural level within reasonable computation time. The architectural-level soft-error model identifies which part of memory modules are utilized temporally and spatially and which single event upsets (SEUs) are critical to the program execution of the computer system at the cycle accura...

Propagation of radio occultation (RO) signals through the lower troposphere results in high phase acceleration and low signal to noise ratio signal. The excess Doppler estimation accuracy in lower troposphere is very important in receiving RO signals which can be estimated by sliding window spectral analysis. To do this, various frequency estimation methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT can be adopt...
متن کاملBayes, E-Bayes and Robust Bayes Premium Estimation and Prediction under the Squared Log Error Loss Function
In risk analysis based on Bayesian framework, premium calculation requires specification of a prior distribution for the risk parameter in the heterogeneous portfolio. When the prior knowledge is vague, the E-Bayesian and robust Bayesian analysis can be used to handle the uncertainty in specifying the prior distribution by considering a class of priors instead of a single prior. In th...
