The present thesis aims at evaluating the SEE static and dynamic sensitivity of three different COTS multi-core and many-core processors. The first one is the Freescale P2041 multi-core processor manufactured in 45nm SOI technology which implements ECC and parity in their cache memories. The second one is the Kalray MPPA-256 many-core processor manufactured in 28nm TSMC CMOS technology which integrates 16 compute clusters each one with 16 processor cores, and implements ECC in its static memories and parity in its cache memories. The third one is the Adapteva Epiphany E16G301 microprocessor manufactured in 65nm CMOS process which integrates 16 processor cores and do not implement protection mechanisms. The evaluation was accomplished throug...
