We present a practical, systematical method for the evaluation of the soft error rate (SER) of microelectronic devices. Existing methodologies, practices and tools are integrated in a common approach while highlighting the need for specific data or tools. The showcased method is particularly adapted for evaluating the SER of very complex microelectronic devices by engineers confronted to increasingly...
Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are getting more and more attractive for military and aerospace applications, among others devices. The usage of non volatile FPGAs, like Flash-based ones, reduces permanent radiation effects but transient faults are still a concern. In this paper we propose a new methodology for effectively measuring the width of radiation-induced transient faults thus allowing...
Performance evaluation techniques for fundamental graphics algorithms and for algorithms to be used in multimedia and embedded systems are investigated. Models of computation considering only arithmetic and logic operations taken on input data are regarded as inadequate for processors with instruction-level parallelism. For experimental evaluation of graphics algorithms clock-cycle counting is found...
Building on the extensive research in Virtual Reality (VR), we are proposing a new dynamic prototype for modelling and simulating carbon emissions in a virtual village called VIRVIL. VIRVIL is a simulated settlement for the assessment of the impact of low and zero carbon technologies and measures in the built environment. The prototype will focus on the impact on the community as a whole, as well...
This paper describes a methodology for building a reliable internet core router that considers the vulnerability of its electronic components to single event upset (SEU). It begins with a set of meaningful system level metrics that can be related to product reliability requirements. A specification is then defined that can be effectively used during the system architecture, silicon and software design...
Signal processing methods for speech enhancement are of vital interest for many equipment. In particular, beamforming algorithms, which perform spatial filtering to separate signals that have overlapping frequency content but are originated from different spatial locations, are important for a wide range of applications. In this paper, a particular beamforming algorithm based on the signal-to-noise...
