Original Abstract Submitted
the disclosure describes a method of monitoring the dynamic power consumption of reram crossbars and determines the occurrence of faults when a changepoint is detected in the monitored power-consumption time series. statistical features are computed before and after the changepoint and train a predictive model using machine-learning techniques. in this way, the computationally expensive fault localization and error-recovery steps are carried out only when a high fault rate is estimated. with the proposed fault-detection method and the predictive model, the test time is significantly reduced while high classification accuracy for well-known ai/ml datasets using a reram-based computing system (rcs) can still be ensured.
