Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) can accelerate diverse classes of applications, such as
recognition, gaming, data analytics, weather prediction, and multimedia. Many of these …

Well over a decade ago, many believed that an engine of growth driving the semiconductor
and computing industries---captured nicely by Gordon Moore's remarkable prophecy …

This article aims to tackle two fundamental memory bottlenecks: limited off-chip bandwidth
(bandwidth wall) and long access latency (memory wall). To achieve this goal, our approach …

Relaxing the traditional abstraction of “near-perfect” accuracy in hardware design can lead
to significant gains in energy efficiency, area, and performance. To exploit this opportunity …

The architecture of computational devices is shaped by their energy consumption. Energetic
constraints are used to design silicon-based computers but are poorly understood for neural …

Power has become a key constraint in nanoscale integrated circuit design due to the
increasing demands for mobile computing and higher integration density. As an emerging …

The use of stochastic processing hardware and low precision arithmetic in atmospheric
models is investigated. Stochastic processors allow hardware-induced faults in calculations …

In recent years, inexact computing has been increasingly regarded as one of the most
promising approaches for slashing energy consumption in many applications that can …

Progress in numerical weather and climate prediction accuracy greatly depends on the
growth of the available computing power. As the number of cores in top computing facilities …

Computers process bits of information. A bit can take a value of 0 or 1, and computers
process these bits through some physical mechanism. In the early days of electronic …
