BLINK: Batch Normalization-based Integrity Checkpoints for In-Situ Detection and Mitigation of Diverse Weight Corruptions in DNN Accelerators
In safety-critical deployments, AI hardware must remain reliable against a broad spectrum of threats such as aging, soft errors, hard faults, and adversarial attacks (e.g. progressive bit flip attack (PBFA)). All of these corrupt stored weights while the chip keeps producing confident but inaccurate predictions. Detect...
