Standardizing GPU Radiation Test Approaches

While some Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) are discrete components (i.e.GTX1050), others take the form of an IP block or embedded engine within a System on Chip (SoC) device such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon"TM" 820 which contains a Qualcomm Adreno"TM" 530 GPU. Within this device are various functional blocks which can be exercised with software payloads. NVidia's Jetson"TM" TX1 SoC is provided on a System on Module (SOM). Within it are Central Processing Unit (CPU) cores and an nVidia GPU which can be accessed similarly to a discrete GPU coprocessor. While the packaging is different, each one of these GPUs needs to be tested using the same standardized code.

LET and Range Characteristics of Proton Recoil Ions in Gallium Nitride (GaN)

A better understanding of the linear energy transfer and the range of proton recoil ions in gallium nitride is necessary to properly evaluate GaN device radiation tolerance. By analyzing the linear energy transfer (LET) and range of recoil heavy ions in GaN we can begin to reproduce the body of knowledge that exists for Si-based devices for this upcoming technology. Although the previous data on older technology has impressive depth and breadth we must be diligent and cautious in the application of these institutional intuitions when applied to emerging technologies such as GaN. As ever increasing materials science advances emerge, a sound methodology for evaluating new technologies must be established in order to apply what we know towards the effort of ensuring radiation tolerance.
