ACCELERATOR TRUSTWORTHINESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455583 titled 'ACCELERATOR TRUSTWORTHINESS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method to increase the trustworthiness of an accelerator in heterogeneous systems. Here are the key points:

  • An application's workload is offloaded to an accelerator for processing.
  • The accelerator is guaranteed to generate the expected output for the workload.
  • The accelerator is identified as the source of the workload's output.
  • Both the input and output of the workload are ensured to be authentic.
  • The input and output of the workload are securely transmitted during the offloading process.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various fields where accelerators are used, such as:

  • High-performance computing: Offloading compute-intensive tasks to accelerators.
  • Artificial intelligence: Accelerating machine learning algorithms.
  • Data analytics: Speeding up data processing and analysis.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems:

  • Trustworthiness: Ensuring the accelerator generates the correct output for the workload.
  • Authenticity: Verifying the authenticity of both the input and output of the workload.
  • Security: Safely transmitting the workload's input and output during offloading.

Benefits

The innovation offers several benefits:

  • Improved trust: Users can rely on the accelerator to generate accurate results.
  • Enhanced security: Offloading and transmission of workload data are securely handled.
  • Time and resource savings: Accelerators can efficiently process workloads, reducing overall processing time.


Original Abstract Submitted

Trustworthiness of an accelerator in heterogenous systems is increased. A workload of an application is offloaded to an accelerator for the accelerator to perform the workload. The accelerator is ensured to generate an output of the workload based on offloading the workload. The accelerator is identified as generating an output of the workload based on offloading the workload. Both an input and the output of the workload are ensured to be authentic based on offloading the workload to the accelerator. Both the input and the output of the workload are ensured to be securely transmitted based on offloading the workload to the accelerator.
