FPGA-Based Implementation of an Artificial Neural Network for Measurement Acceleration in BOTDA Sensors
摘要： In recent years, using distributed fiber-optic sensors based on Brillouin scattering, for monitoring pipelines, tunnels, and other constructional structures have gained huge popularity. However, these sensors have a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which usually increases their measurement error. To alleviate this issue, ensemble averaging is used which improves the SNR but in return increases the measurement time. Reducing the noise by averaging requires hundreds or thousands of scans of the optical fiber; hence averaging is usually responsible for a large percent of the entire system latency. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on artificial neural network for SNR enhancement and measurement acceleration in distributed fiber-optic sensors based on the Brillouin scattering. Our method takes the noisy Brillouin spectrums and improves their SNR by 20 dB, which reduces the measurement time significantly. It also improves the accuracy of the Brillouin frequency shift estimation process and its latency by more than 50% in comparison with the state-of-the-art software and hardware solutions.

摘要： Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have been shown to provide high computational density and efficiency for many computing applications by allowing circuits to be customized to any application of interest. FPGAs also support programmability by allowing the circuit to be changed at a later time through reconfiguration. There is great interest in exploiting these benefits in space and other radiation environments. FPGAs, however, are very sensitive to radiation and great care must be taken to properly address the effects of radiation in FPGA-based systems. This paper will highlight the effects of radiation on FPGA-based systems and summarize the challenges in deploying FPGAs in such environments. Several well-known mitigation methods will be described and the unique ability of FPGAs to customize the system for improved reliability will be discussed. Finally, two case studies summarizing successful deployment of FPGAs in radiation environments will be presented.

摘要： Reconfigurable architectures can bring unique capabilities to computational tasks. They offer the performance and energy efficiency of hardware with the flexibility of software. In some domains, they are the only way to achieve the required, real-time performance without fabricating custom integrated circuits. Their functionality can be upgraded and repaired during their operational lifecycle and specialized to the particular instance of a task. We survey the field of reconfigurable computing, providing a guide to the body-of-knowledge accumulated in architecture, compute models, tools, run-time reconfiguration, and applications.

摘要： A variety of fault emulation systems have been created to study the effect of single-event effects (SEEs) in static random access memory (SRAM) based field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). These systems are useful for augmenting radiation-hardness assurance (RHA) methodologies for verifying the effectiveness for mitigation techniques; understanding error signatures and failure modes in FPGAs; and failure rate estimation. For radiation effects researchers, it is important that these systems properly emulate how SEEs manifest in FPGAs. If the fault emulation systems does not mimic the radiation environment, the system will generate erroneous data and incorrect predictions of behavior of the FPGA in a radiation environment. Validation determines whether the emulated faults are reasonable analogs to the radiation-induced faults. In this paper we present methods for validating fault emulation systems and provide several examples of validated FPGA fault emulation systems.
