Estimating the term…
A method is provided to convert commercial microprocessors to radiation-hardened processors and, more particularly, a method is provided to modify a commercial microprocessor for radiation hardened applications with minimal changes to the technology, design, device, and process base so as to facilitate a rapid transition for such radiation hardened applications. The method is implemented in a computing infrastructure and includes evaluating a probability that one or more components of an existing commercial design will be affected by a single event upset (SEU). The method further includes replacing the one or more components with a component immune to the SEU to create a final device.
A method implemented in a computing infrastructure, comprising:
A method, comprising:
A method comprising:
A memory array comprising a multiple segment memory system which is protected by an ECC scheme used as a replacement for a memory device, wherein the multiple segment memory system transfers an ECC word to and from separate memory segments on global data lines, wherein bits of an ECC word are scattered among multiple wordlines, the wordlines being located in separate memory segments such that physical locations of each ECC bit are separated thereby protecting the memory array from radiation induced errors.
