A Remote Verification Framework to Assess the Robustness of Circuits to Soft Faults
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growing number of circuits implemented in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and the increased susceptibility, due to higher integration levels, of these devices to soft faults caused by radiation at ground level is leading the scientific and technical community to the study of new fault tolerant designs and solutions, and how they can be verified and validated. Using fault injection techniques and enhanced debug tools to inject faults in a circuit and observing its behaviour in the presence of such faults, respectively, is a proven solution for the previous verification and validation problem. This paper presents the underlying concepts for a remote verification framework to assess the robustness of circuits to soft faults. It comprises a verification platform and a set of verification services that can be used in a remote or local fashions.
