Inexactness and a future of computing.
As pressures, notably from energy consumption, start impeding the growth and scale of computing systems, inevitably, designers and users are increasingly considering the prospect of trading accuracy or exactness. This paper is a perspective on the progress in embracing this somewhat unusual philosophy of innovating computing systems that are designed to be inexact or approximate, in the interes...
متن کاملFPGA-Specific Custom Arithmetic Datapath Design
This paper presents FloPoCo, a framework for easily designing custom arithmetic datapaths for FPGAs. Its main features are: an important basis of highly optimized arithmetic operators, a unique methodology for frequency-directed pipelining the designed circuits and a flexible test-bench generation suite for numerically validating the designs. The framework was tested for designing several compl...
متن کاملArithmetic Aggregation Operators for Interval-valued Intuitionistic Linguistic Variables and Application to Multi-attribute Group Decision Making
The intuitionistic linguistic set (ILS) is an extension of linguisitc variable. To overcome the drawback of using single real number to represent membership degree and non-membership degree for ILS, the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic linguistic set (IVILS) is introduced through representing the membership degree and non-membership degree with intervals for ILS in this paper. The oper...
متن کاملDoing Moore with Less - Leapfrogging Moore's Law with Inexactness for Supercomputing
Energy and power consumption are major limitations to continued scaling of computing systems. Inexactness, where the quality of the solution can be traded for energy savings, has been proposed as an approach to overcoming those limitations. In the past, however, inexactness necessitated the need for highly customized or specialized hardware. The current evolution of commercial off-the-shelf (CO...
متن کاملFPGA-specific synthesis of loop-nests with pipelined computational cores
The increased capacity and enhanced features of modern FPGAs opens new opportunities for their use as application accelerators. However, for FPGAs to be accepted as mainstream acceleration solutions, long design cycles must be shortened by using high-level synthesis tools in the design process. Current HLS tools targeting FPGAs have several limitations including the inefficient use of deeply pi...
