1. A method, comprising:
executing a simulation for a memory comprising a plurality of portions over a window of time;
during the simulation, determine each residency period for the corresponding portion, wherein the residency period is determined according to:
a first time that the corresponding portion is written with data, and
a second time of a last read of the data from the corresponding portion; and
after completion of the simulation, computing a first liveness factor for the memory based on the residency periods, the first liveness factor representing a vulnerability of the memory to soft errors.
