Instruments for measuring the absorbed dose and dose rate under radiation exposure,
known as radiation dosi-meters, are indispensable in space missions. They are composed …

In the dark silicon era, a fundamental problem is given a real-time computation demand,
how to determine if an on-chip multiprocessor system is able to accept this demand and to …

We investigate multi-criteria optimization and Pareto front generation. Given an application
modeled as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of tasks and a multicore architecture, we …

Energy optimization is one of the most critical objectives for the synthesis of multiprocessor
system-on-chip (MPSoC). Besides, to ensure a long processor lifetime and to maintain a …

Soft errors, aging effects and process variations have become the three most critical
reliability issues for nanoscale complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuits …

Abstract Analysis of Single Event Transient (SET) effects is an important step in the design of
radiation-hardened integrated circuits for space missions. Because the simulation of SET …

With the downscaling of CMOS technologies, the radiation-induced Single Event Transient
(SET) effects in combinational logic have become a critical reliability issue for modern …

Single Event Transients (SETs), ie, voltage glitches induced in combinational logic as a
result of the passage of energetic particles, represent an increasingly critical reliability threat …

Reliability and fault tolerance needs in space applications pose additional requirements to
the chip design flow. In order to successfully cope with space related issues, cross-layer …

Reliability in integrated circuits (ICs) has been an important topic for many years. Numerous
methods for achieving reliability in ICs have been proposed. Nevertheless, the traditional …
