EdgeAI is an emerging AI accelerator technology which is capable of delivering improved AI performance at both a lower cost and a lower power level. With the aim of implementation in large quantities and in safety-critical environments, it is imperative to understand how Single Event Effects (SEE) affect the reliability of this new family of devices, and to propose efficient hardening solutions. Through neutron beam experiments and faultinjection analysis of a COTS EdgeAI device, we are able to identify the device's SEE failure-modes, separate the error rate contributions of the device's different resources, and characterise the device's SEE reliability. During this analysis we discovered that the vast majority of single bit flips have no appreciable effect on the output. After this analysis, we propose a hardening solution which implements TMR in the device without changing its physical architecture. We experimentally validate this solution and show that we are able to correct 96% of the misclassifications (critical errors) with nearly-zero overhead.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
