Often as the most important arithmetic modules in a processor, adders, multipliers, and dividers determine the performance and energy efficiency of many computing tasks. The …
Gigantic rates of data production in the era of Big Data, Internet of Thing (IoT)/Internet of Everything (IoE), and Cyber Physical Systems (CSP) pose incessantly escalating demands …
Libraries of approximate circuits are composed of fully characterized digital circuits that can be used as building blocks of energy-efficient implementations of hardware accelerators …
Approximate computing is an emerging paradigm for developing highly energy-efficient computing systems such as various accelerators. In the literature, many libraries of …
The current state-of-the-art approximate adders are mostly ASIC-based, ie, they focus solely on gate and/or transistor level approximations (eg, through circuit simplification or …
