AI chips must get the math right

Conference: DVCLUB Europe | Verification of AI Designs
Speaker: Sergio Marchese, Technical Marketing Manager, OneSpin Solutions
Abstract:

Most AI chips and hardware accelerators that power machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) applications include floating-point units (FPUs). Algorithms used in neural networks are often based on operations that use multiplication and addition of floating-point values. FPUs are difficult to implement. The IEEE 754 standard defines many corner-case scenarios and non-ordinary values. Even a minor rounding mistake could accumulate over many iterations and produce a large error. An FPU formal verification app compliant with IEEE-754 provides an efficient and rigorous solutions to FPU functional verification.

3 Key Points:

  • Floating-point unit (FPU) for AI chips
  • FPU Formal Verification App
  • Compliance with IEEE-754
