Radiation Characterization of the Cots Myriad X Edge Vision Processing Unit and Use Cases in Space Applications

This work presents the radiation characterization of the COTS Myriad X Vision Processing Unit, from Intel Movidius, for proton- and heavy ion-induced Single Event Effects and Total Ionizing Dose. The component has already flown on different missions, and it continues to be considered in future ones. The results obtained show that the radiation performance of the device is aligned with the performance of other components manufactured in the 16nm FinFET technology. Potential use cases of Myriad X in space computing platforms are also discussed.
