  • Patent number: 11977432
    Abstract: A data processing circuit and a fault-mitigating method are provided. In the method, multiple sub-sequences are divided from sequence data. A first sub-sequence of the sub-sequences is accessed from a memory for a multiply-accumulate (MAC) operation to obtain a first computed result. The MAC operation is performed on a second sub-sequence of the sub-sequences in the memory to obtain a second computed result. The first and the second computed results are combined, where the combined result of the first and the second computed results is related to the result of the MAC operation on the sequence data directly. Accordingly, the error rate could be reduced, so as to mitigate fault.

  • Publication number: 20240028452
    Abstract: A data processing circuit and a fault-mitigating method are provided. A first data is written into a memory. A computed result is determined according to one or more adjacent bits of the first data at faulty bits. According to the computed result, new values are determined. The new values replace the values of the first data at the faulty bits to form a second data. The first data includes multiple bits. The first data is image-related data, weights used by a multiply-accumulate (MAC) for extracting features of images, and/or values used by an activation calculation. The adjacent bits are adjacent to the faulty bits. The computed result is obtained through computing the values of the first data at non-faulty bits of the memory. Accordingly, an influence of a memory fault is reduced.
