Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to detect faults in processing pipelines are described. One accelerator circuit includes a fixed-function circuit that performs an operation corresponding to a layer of a neural network. The fixed-function circuit includes a set of homogeneous processing units and a fault scanner circuit. The fault scanner circuit includes an additional homogeneous processing unit to scan each processing unit of the set for functional faults in a sequence.
