Soft error mitigation and recovery of SRAM-based FPGAs using brain-inspired hybrid-grained scrubbing mechanism

Just like the human brain filters out irrelevant information, researchers have developed a brain-inspired hybrid-grained scrubbing mechanism to tackle soft errors in SRAM-based field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). These errors can corrupt the configuration memory of FPGAs, affecting their performance. The proposed mechanism includes fine-grained and coarse-grained scrubbing to quickly mitigate and repair errors after […]
