Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a computation unit implementing a systolic array and configured for detecting errors while processing data on the systolic array. Checksum circuit in communication with a systolic array is configured to compute checksums and perform error detection while the systolic array processes input data. Instead of pre-generating checksums in input matrices, input matrices can be directly fed into the systolic array through the checksum circuit. On the output side, the checksum circuit can generate and compare checksums with checksums in an output matrix generated by the systolic array. Error checking the operations to generate the output matrix can be performed without delaying the operations of the systolic array, and without preprocessing the input matrices.
