Abstract
A method is provided to convert commercial microprocessors to radiation-hardened processors and, more particularly, a method is provided to modify a commercial microprocessor for radiation hardened applications with minimal changes to the technology, design, device, and process base so as to facilitate a rapid transition for such radiation hardened applications. The method is implemented in a computing infrastructure and includes evaluating a probability that one or more components of an existing commercial design will be affected by a single event upset (SEU). The method further includes replacing the one or more components with a component immune to the SEU to create a final device.
