Towards Process Variation and Radiaton Aware Designs in FPGA
Our research lead to some novel solutions that we published in different peer-reviewed conferences.
Our novel ARQ (automatic repeat request) based protocol detects soft errors in the data path to
process the reliable data to the successive stages of the pipeline. Our FPGA synthesis results show
that our implementation in 50% better in terms of latency and requires 1.53 times lesser area
overhead compared to contemporary state-of-art techniques
