  • Publication number: 20190155678
    Abstract: A system for handling errors in a neural network includes a neural network processor for executing a neural network associated with use of a vehicle. The neural network processor includes an error detector configured to detect a data error associated with execution of the neural network and a neural network controller configured to receive a report of the data error from the error detector. In response to receiving the report, the neural network controller is further configured to signal that a pending result of the neural network is tainted without terminating execution of the neural network.

  • Patent number: 9959122
    Abstract: A method includes allocating a first single-cycle instruction to a first pipeline that picks single-cycle instructions for execution in program order. The method further includes marking at least one source register of the first single-cycle instruction as ready for execution in the first pipeline in response to all older single-cycle instructions allocated to the first pipeline being ready and eligible to be picked for execution. An apparatus includes a decoder to decode a first single-cycle instruction and to allocate the first single-cycle instruction to a first pipeline. The apparatus further includes a scheduler to pick single-cycle instructions for execution by the first pipeline in program order and to mark at least one source register of the first single-cycle instruction as ready for execution in the first pipeline in response to determining that all older single-cycle instructions allocated to the first pipeline are ready and eligible.

  • Patent number: 9733941
    Abstract: In response to determining an operation is a dependent operation, a mapper of a processor determines the source registers of the operation from which the dependent operation depends. The mapper translates the dependent operation to a new operation that uses as its source operands at least one of the determined source registers and a source register of the dependent operation. The new operation is independent of other pending operations and therefore can be executed without waiting for execution of other operations, thus reducing execution latency.
