A new research paper explores the impact of temperature on analog deep neural network (DNN) inference, particularly for resource-constrained devices like mobile phones. The study found that temperature significantly degrades inference accuracy, primarily due to systematic non-idealities rather than just stochastic noise. Mitigation strategies such as noise-aware training, hardware-in-the-loop training, and temperature-aware calibration were evaluated, with the latter two proving most effective at maintaining accuracy under varying thermal conditions.
