System and method for handling errors in a vehicle neural network processor

A system comprising:

• a neural network processor for executing a neural network associated with autonomous operation of a vehicle;
• and
• an interrupt controller coupled to the neural network processor, wherein the interrupt controller is configured to:
• receive an error signal via an error interrupt pin of the neural network processor;
• access error information via one or more status registers of the neural network processor, the error information indicating a type of error encountered by the neural network processor;
• and
• when the type of the error corresponds to a data error, identify a pending result of the neural network processor as corrupt.

A method for handling errors in a vehicle neural network processor, the method comprising:

• receiving an error report based on an error encountered by the vehicle neural network processor during operation of a vehicle;
• determining a type of the error based on the error report;
• and
• in response to determining that the type of the error corresponds to a data error, signaling that a pending result of the vehicle neural network processor is corrupt while allowing operation of the vehicle neural network processor to proceed.
