An experimental study on the cell-to-cell sensitivity of 65-nm, 90-nm and 130-nm volatile bulk COTS SRAMs to thermal neutron irradiation is presented. Results show a dependency between VDR and the number of bitflips after irradiation.

This paper compares the effectiveness of three machine learning models running on a low­-power processor under neutron radiation. Results suggest that our implementations retain a certain level of effectiveness even without mitigation techniques.

In this paper we evaluate the influence of the parallelization strategy on the proton radiation reliability of LU decomposition on a GPU-accelerated System-on-Chip. More intensive utilization of GPU resources produce larger cross-sections.
