The system, developed by the Radiation Test Consortium (XRTC), leverages the reconfigurability of Xilinx(R) FPGAs and is capable of injecting simulated upsets at a rate of over 3 million per minute while verifying design functionality. Conference Seminar and Presentations Seminar Session -- Accelerating FPGA Designs and Design Work: Implementing Faster Designs Faster Session A: PLD Applications -- Secure Software Defined Radio in Space Session B: PLDs and Supporting Devices -- Current Status of the SIRF Program Session C: Radiation Effects and Mitigation in PLDs -- The TID Performance of Deep Submicron CMOS Processes Session D: Design and Verification Tools and Methodologies -- Mitigation, Design Flow and Troubleshooting a Soft Processor in a Complex FPGA -- The Use of Fault Injection to Simulate Upsets in Reconfigurable FPGAs Poster Presentations -- Optimized Virtex(R)-4 FPGA Self Hosting Configuration Management -- Virtex-4 FPGA SEU Mitigation Design Consideration About MAPLD 2008

Initiated in 1998, the Military and Aerospace Programmable Logic Devices conference addresses the unique issues surrounding the use of PLDs for military and aerospace applications that must operate with a high degree of reliability, often in harsh environments.
