Accelerated Nuclear Radiation Effects on the Raspberry Pi 3B+ and Pi 4
Raspberry Pi™ computers running Linux and embedded benchmarks are subjected to radiation testing in the neutron beam at LANSCE. The ARM® Cortex®-A53 in the Raspberry Pi 3B+ versus ARM® Cortex®-A72 in the Raspberry Pi 4, single-core versus multi-core, and small versus large array SBU cross sections are compared. Results for the A53 and the A72 are similar. The results of one process on one of four cores and four identical processes on four cores are presented. The results of the array size show that there is more going on than just an increase in size. Linux is helpful in relating some errors that would have been classified as SEFI to an upset in a single bit.
