GPU-Accelerated Soft Error Rate Analysis of Large-Scale Integrated Circuits

In this article, a team of researchers from Shiraz University and the Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Iran, investigates soft error rate (SER) estimation. They propose an analytical framework to estimate SER accurately and an implementation on graphic processing units (GPUs) that is able to scale to circuits composed of thousands of gates. The framework exploits several levels of parallelism in the SER estimation process to map it efficiently onto GPUs.
