A Design Space Exploration Framework for ANN-Based Fault Detection in Hardware Systems

Table 1

Decision steps needed to be taken for the exploration framework for the ANNs.

	ANN decision step	Note
1	Topology exploration	Develop in the framework a base network topology. Collect training data for the ANN.
2	ANN scalability	Experiment with different partitions to choose which one is better.
3	Parameters of the ANN: training	Find based on experiments efficient parameters for the development and training of the ANN.
4	Fault detection	Study different scenarios for fault detection (study two scenarios: first, the detection is made just to show which partition will present fault; second, the detection shows which router in the partition will present fault).
