DATE Save the Date 17 to 19 April 2023

Dear DATE community,

We, the DATE Sponsors Committee (DSC) and the DATE Executive Committee (DEC), are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragedy currently unfolding in Ukraine, and we would like to express our full solidarity with all the people and families affected by the war.

Our thoughts also go out to everyone in Ukraine and Russia, whether they are directly or indirectly affected by the events, and we extend our deep sympathy.

We condemn Russia’s military action in Ukraine, which violates international law. And we call on the different governments to take immediate action to protect everyone in that country, particularly including its civilian population and people affiliated with its universities.

Now more than ever, our DATE community must promote our societal values (justice, freedom, respect, community, and responsibility) and confront this situation collectively and peacefully to end this nonsense war.

DATE Sponsors and Executive Committees.

W01.2 Invited Session 1: Design-for-dependability for AI hardware accelerators in the edge

Abstract: AI has seen an explosion in real-world applications in the recent years. For example, it is the backbone of self-driving and connected cars. The design of AI hardware accelerators to support the intensive and memory-hungry AI workloads is an on-going effort aiming at optimizing the energy-area trade-off. This special session will focus on dependability aspects in the design of AI hardware accelerators.  It is often tacitly assumed that neural networks on hardware inherit the remarkable fault tolerance capabilities of the biological brain. This assumption has proven to be false in recent years by a number of fault injection experiments. The three talks will cover reliability assessment and fault tolerance of Artificial Neural Networks and Spiking Neural Networks implemented in hardware, as well as the impact of approximate computing on the fault tolerance capabilities.

Presentations:

  • Fault Tolerance of Neural Network Hardware Accelerators for Autonomous Driving
    Adrian Evans (CEA-LETI, Grenoble, France), Lorena Anghel (Grenoble-INP, SPINTEC, Grenoble, France), and Stéphane Burel (CEA-LETI, Grenoble, France)
  • Exploiting Approximate Computing for Efficient and Reliable Convolutional Neural Networks
    Alberto Bosio (École Centrale de Lyon, INL, Lyon, France)
  • Reliability Assessment and Fault Tolerance of Spiking Neural Network Hardware Accelerators
