arXiv:2607.01602v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: SRAM-based FPGAs provide an attractive platform for energy- and latency-constrained CNN inference at the network edge, yet transient faults can lead to silent errors that compromise reliability. Always-on redundancy (e.g., full TMR) improves correctness but incurs substantial performance and energy overhead, while reactive recovery may introduce unacceptable latency on the critical path. We propose \textbf{ProWAFT}, a proactive workload-aware fault-tolerance framework for FPGA-based CNN accelerators that uses partial reconfiguration to selectivel
