Architecture Dependent Temporal Observability Under Deployment Interference in Edge Inference Systems

Akul Swami, Nikhil Chougule

Deployment interference can corrupt both inference timing and the software that measures it, independently.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We claim, narrowly, that timing observability is itself an interference-sensitive resource, and that summary statistics from a single timing source can hide failure modes an independent external observer makes visible.

C2weakest assumption

The experimental setup assumes that the Saleae Logic Pro 8 logic analyzer's GPIO interval captures provide a reliable, independent external ground truth that is not itself corrupted by the same deployment interference or pairing issues as the software reports.

C3one line summary

Deployment interference corrupts timing observability in edge AI systems, allowing software logs to report normal operation while external hardware captures reveal failures that differ by inference architecture.
