Robustness against SEU of an artificial neural network space application

We study the sensitivity of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to Single Event Upsets (SEU). A neural network designed to detect electronic and protonic whistlers has been implemented using a dedicated VLSI circuit: the LNeuro neural processor. Results of both SEU software simulations and heavy ion te...

Zusammenfassung:We study the sensitivity of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to Single Event Upsets (SEU). A neural network designed to detect electronic and protonic whistlers has been implemented using a dedicated VLSI circuit: the LNeuro neural processor. Results of both SEU software simulations and heavy ion tests point out the fault tolerance properties of ANN hardware implementations.
