  • Publication number: 20260087214
    Abstract: The present application relates to generating a design for an integrated circuit, where the design includes a layer that can be enabled and/or disabled on demand. In an example, a system receives an input declaring a layer associated with a function. The system defines a first layer block of the layer, where corresponding code references the layer and is included in code of a first module. The system defines a second layer block of the layer, where corresponding code references the layer and is included in code of a second module. The system defines a first port for the first layer block, the first port referencing the layer and indicating that output of the first layer block is accessible to the second layer block conditioned on the layer being enabled. The system causes a compilation of the codes, where the compilation removes the first port from the circuit design.

  • Publication number: 20230385496
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for providing enhanced protection of an integrated circuit in a computing system by a processor. A logic locking FSM component or a logic locking with RTL gating may be applied to a current design logic to enable and protect operations of an integrated circuit, where the current design logic remains unchanged. The operation of the integrated circuit may be activated based upon providing to the integrated circuit a correct key from the logic locking FSM component or the logic locking with RTL gating.

  • Patent number: 11810340
    Abstract: A system includes a determination component that determines output for successively larger neural networks of a set; and a consensus component that determines consensus between a first neural network and a second neural network of the set. A linear chain of increasingly complex neural networks trained on progressively larger inputs is utilized (e.g., increasingly complex neural networks is generally representative of increased accuracy). Outputs of progressively networks are computed until a consensus point is reached—where two or more successive large networks yield a same inference output. At such point of consensus the larger neural network of the set reaching consensus can be deemed appropriately sized (or of sufficient complexity) for a classification task at hand.

  • Patent number: 11630152
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating determination and correction of physical circuit event related errors of a hardware design are provided. A system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a simulation component that injects a fault into a latch and a combination of logic of an emulated hardware design. The fault can be a biased fault injection that can mimic an error caused by a physical circuit event error vulnerability. The computer executable components can also comprise an observation component that determines one or more paths of the emulated hardware design that are vulnerable to physical circuit event related errors based on the biased fault injection.

  • Patent number: 11016840
    Abstract: A coarse error correction system for detecting, predicting, and correcting errors in neural networks is provided. The coarse error correction system receives a first set of statistics that are computed from values collected from a neural network during a training phase of the neural network. The coarse error correction system computes a second set of statistics based on values collected from the neural network during a run-time phase of the neural network. The coarse error correction system detects an error in the neural network during the run-time phase of the neural network by comparing the first set of statistics with the second set of statistics. The coarse error correction system increases a voltage setting to the neural network based on the detected error.
