Abstract(in English) In recent years, as the memory capacity of computer systems has increased,the reliability of the system has decreased.Soft errors are one of the main reasons for the decreased reliability.In this paper, two types of 8Gb DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) were irradiated with neutron beamsto evaluate their soft error tolerance.LPDDR4 SDRAM was used on an FPGA board and GDDR5 SDRAM was used on a GPU board.The results showed that the soft error rates for both DRAMs were around 3 FIT/Gb.In LPDDR4, all of the detected errors were burst errors,and in GDDR5, 38% of the detected errors were burst errors.
