High-energy neutrons characterization of a safety critical computing system

This article presents use of a neutron beam for error injection in safety-critical Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) based platform GeminiX implemented on System on Chip (SoC) FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The results represent an important indication of the resilience of the safety critical system showing a full coverage of soft errors caused by atmospheric neutrons.
