  • Abstract
    This paper presents and analyzes the results of neutron experiments on 40nm Graphic Processing Units. We have measured the internal memory resources cross sections, and define a new threads cross section to characterize the computing units sensitivity to radiation. We experimentally evaluate the matrix multiplication application error rate and built an analytical model to predict algorithms neutron-induced failures.
