DFT14

Partner POLITO presents  two interesting papers about:

  • Reliability Estimation at Block-Level Granularity of Spin-Transfer-Torque MRAMs, and
  • A Fault Injection Methodology and Infrastructure for Fast Single Event Upsets Emulation on Xilinx SRAM-based FPGAs

at the IEEE International Symposium on Defect and Fault Tolerance in VLSI and Nanotechnology Systems (DFTS) 2014 held in Amsterdam (https://www.dfts.org). 

 

The first paper presents a methodology for predicting the reliability of an STT-MRAM based memory (assuming high thermal stability). The reliability estimation is performed at block level for different block sizes and access rates. The proposed methodology also allows for an exploration of required error correction capabilities as function of code word size to achieve desired reliability target for the memory under study.

The second paper presents a Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration-based fault injection methodology implemented by an integrated in- frastructure for SEUs emulation in the configuration memory of Xilinx SRAM-based FPGAs. The proposed methodology exploits the Xilinx Essential Bits technology to extremely speed-up fault injection, ensuring correct operations of the fault injection infrastructure during the whole injection process.

If you are attending the conference, don't miss the presentations.
