Modeling Approximate Computing Techniques
The efficiency–accuracy trade-off of approximate computing spans a diverse array of techniques at both the hardware and software levels. While this diversity is key to the success of approximation research, it also entails considerable complexity in developing and validating new approximation techniques. Researchers must relate their ideas to a vast body of work on approximate computing and inv...
متن کاملA Taxonomy of Approximate Computing Techniques
Approximate computing is the idea that systems can gain performance and energy efficiency if they expend less effort on producing a “perfect” answer. Approximate computing techniques propose various ways of exposing and exploiting accuracy– efficiency trade-offs. We present a taxonomy that classifies approximate computing techniques according to their most salient features: compute vs. data, de...
متن کاملUnsynchronized Techniques for Approximate Parallel Computing
We present techniques for obtaining acceptable unsynchronized parallel computations. Even though these techniques may generate interactions (such as data races) that the current rigid value system condemns as incorrect, they are engineered to 1) preserve key data structure consistency constraints while 2) producing a result that is accurate enough, often enough. And because they contain no sync...
متن کاملREACT: A Framework for Rapid Exploration of Approximate Computing Techniques
The efficiency–accuracy trade-off of approximate-computing spans a diverse array of techniques at both the hardware and software levels. While this diversity is key to the success of approximation research, it also entails considerable complexity in developing and validating new approximation techniques. To overcome this complexity and foster innovation in research, we propose REACT, a modeling...
