New framework enhances fault tolerance in FPGA-based CNN accelerators

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed ProWAFT, a novel fault-tolerance framework designed for CNN accelerators implemented on SRAM-based FPGAs. This system addresses the challenge of transient faults that can compromise reliability in edge computing environments. ProWAFT utilizes partial reconfiguration to dynamically apply Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) across reconfigurable partitions, balancing workload criticality, fault propagation, and reconfiguration overhead to optimize latency, energy, and reliability.
