accuracy tradeoffs taking advantage of various inexact design techniques in conjunction
with a machine-learning inspired waveform shaping technique. A 65nm ASIC test chip with
several inexact FFTs shows a reduction in datapath energy consumption upto 75% and the
total energy consumption upto 45%(a factor of 4X and 1.8 X respectively) when compared to
a conventional exact FFT at marginal Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) losses between 0.0002 …
