This book introduces the concepts of soft errors in FPGAs, as well
as the motivation for using commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) FPGAs
in mission-critical and remote applications, such as aerospace. The
authors describe the effects of radiation in FPGAs, present a large
set of soft-error mitigation techniques that can be applied in
these circuits, as well as methods for qualifying these circuits
under radiation. Coverage includes radiation effects in FPGAs,
fault-tolerant techniques for FPGAs, use of COTS FPGAs in aerospace
applications, experimental data of FPGAs under radiation, FPGA
embedded processors under radiation and fault injection in FPGAs.
Since dedicated parallel processing architectures such as GPUs have
become more desirable in aerospace applications due to high
computational power, GPU analysis under radiation is also
discussed.
