Research paper examines fault vulnerability in ReRAM-based PIM CNN accelerators

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper explores the vulnerability of ReRAM-based Process-in-Memory (PIM) accelerators to faults, which can degrade the accuracy of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The study developed a fault injection framework to analyze the impact of stuck-at high (SaH) and stuck-at low (SaL) faults on CNN parameters mapped to these accelerators. Findings indicate that fault vulnerability is influenced by layer type, location of parameters, and fault characteristics, with SaL faults proving more detrimental to classification accuracy than SaH faults.
