Abstract:

 The performance of today’s computing infrastructure is limited by the energy consumption involved in processing, storing, and moving data. In addition, the exponential increase in the volume of data to be handled by our computational infrastructure is driven in large part by machine-learning applications such as deep neural networks. Conventional computing architectures are unable to deal effectively or efficiently with this data volume or with the requirement to transform data into actionable information. This talk will first introduce the audience to the exciting and emerging area of brain-inspired neuromorphic computing systems for machine-learning hardware. First, the presenter will describe RRAM-based crossbars and their role in neuromorphic computing systems. Then, the speaker will present a physics-based classification and analysis of memristor fault origins. These faults origins will be systematically attributed to process variations and manufacturing defects. This study of memristor fault origins and the resulting conclusions provides valuable feedback for the fabrication and the design of memristor-based circuits and systems. Fault models and test solutions will be presented. Subsequently, techniques for online testing and fault-tolerant training will be described. Finally, time permitting, the speaker will describe an efficient fault tolerance method inspired by algorithm-based fault tolerance (ABFT), and referred to as extended-ABFT (X-ABFT), for fault detection and error correction.
