Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This work presents StarRISC, which is a radiation-tolerant RISC-V ASIC microcontroller fabricated at the 22-nm FD SOI node. This device is a complete SoC which includes a 4-stage 32-bit core, a variety of peripherals, various I/Os, as well as 512 kB of on-chip SRAM. The device is hardened through several measures which include the use of ECC memory, automatic memory scrubbing, as well as the usage of custom designed radiation-hardened buffer and storage cells. Neither TMR nor software-level redundancy approaches are used in the design. Broad-beam testing results of the device show remarkable resilience to single event effects under alpha particles, protons, and heavy ions. As well, the results clearly show that the failure rate of the device is also dependent on the type of software that is running on the device during irradiation.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
