Simulation results for two example SPNNs of different scales under realistic and correlated FPVs indicate that the optimized MZIs can improve the inferencing accuracy by up to 93. 95% for the MNIST handwritten digit dataset -- considered as an example in this paper -- which corresponds to a <0. 5% accuracy loss compared to the variation-free case.

However, mapping sophisticated neural network models on these accelerators still entails significant energy and memory consumption, along with high inference time overhead.
