Free PC monitoring app used in NASA radiation tests: HWiNFO
PC hardware monitoring program HWiNFO was used in a U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration semiconductor radiation experiment, according to its website and NASA documents. The tool tracked CPU and GPU status during tests of an AMD A4-3300 processor made at GlobalFoundries in Germany. NASA data showed differing temperature readings between an infrared camera and internal sensors recorded by HWiNFO, raising the possibility of sensor distortion under radiation.
