Abstract
A fault-tolerant analog computing device includes a crossbar array having a number l rows and a number n columns intersecting the l rows to form l×n memory locations. The l rows of the crossbar array receive an input signal as a vector of length l. The n columns output an output signal as a vector of length n that is a dot product of the input signal and the matrix values defined in the l×n memory locations. Each memory location is programmed with a matrix value. A first set of k columns of the n columns is programmed with continuous analog target matrix values with which the input signal is to be multiplied, where k<n. A second set of m columns of the n columns is programmed with continuous analog matrix values for detecting an error in the output signal that exceeds a threshold error value, where m<n.
