Processing Systems Test Suite
This repository contains three elements of radiation testing of complex processing systems:
- Test stimuli: Reliability benchmarks based on Embench
- Test hardware: Standard and robust instrumentation for testing processing systems (SoCs)
- Test reporting: Standard metric for reporting the reliability of processing systems
These elements are described in detail in two main publications as well as my PhD thesis:
- A. M. P. Mattos, D. A. Santos, and L. Dilillo, “Reliability Analysis of Baremetal and FreeRTOS Applications on Microchip PolarFire SoC RISC-V Multiprocessors Using High-Energy Protons,” in IEEE Access, 2025.
- A. M. P. Mattos, M. R. Alas, D. A. Santos, and L. Dilillo, “Standard instrumentation for single-event effect qualification of systems-on-chip: a robust, low-cost, and open-source proposal,” in Journal of Instrumentation, 2025.

This work was performed as part of my PhD on the Université de Montpellier, working on the Institut d'Electronique et des Systèmes and Laboratoire d’Informatique, de Robotique et de Microélectronique de Montpellier. It was supported in part by European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program under Grant 101008126, in part by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 under Project PID2022-138696OB-C21, and in part by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)—A way of making Europe.
