Susceptibility of Modern Systems and Software to Soft Errors

چکیده
It is widely understood that most downtime is accounted for by programming errors and administration time. However, recent work has indicated an increasing cause of downtime may stem from transient hardware errors caused by external factors, such as cosmic rays. Moving to denser semiconductor technologies at lower voltages will cause an increase in transient errors. We investigate the trends in transient errors and the susceptibility of operating systems and applications to them, and we introduce ideas regarding software transient error

In a strapdown magnetic compass, heading angle is estimated using the Earth's magnetic field measured by Three-Axis Magnetometers (TAM). However, due to several inevitable errors in the magnetic system, such as sensitivity errors, non-orthogonal and misalignment errors, hard iron and soft iron errors, measurement noises and local magnetic fields, there are large error between the magnetometers'...
