WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers are developing computers capable of "approximate computing" to perform calculations good enough for certain tasks that don't require perfect accuracy, potentially ...

A new paper from ORNL’s Sparsh Mittal presents a survey of approximate computing techniques. Recently published in ACM Computing Surveys 2016, A Survey Of Techniques for Approximate Computing reviews ...

The field of approximate computing is fundamentally reshaping digital signal processing (DSP) by intentionally trading off some degree of numerical accuracy for significant gains in energy efficiency, ...

A technical paper titled “On Hardware-efficient Inference in Probabilistic Circuits” was published by researchers at Aalto University and UCLouvain. “Probabilistic circuits (PCs) offer a promising ...

Simulations of quantum many-body systems are an important goal for nuclear and high-energy physics. Many-body problems involve systems that consist of many microscopic particles interacting at the ...

Computing power and sophistication have risen remarkably in the past decade, to the point where the phone in your pocket may have as much computational horsepower as a laptop that’s just a few years ...

Density and speed of IC’s have increased exponentially for several decades, following a trend described by Moore’s Law. While it is accepted that this exponential improvement trend will end, it is ...

Your math teacher lied to you. Sometimes getting your sums wrong is a good thing. So says Joseph Bates, cofounder and CEO of Singular Computing, a company whose computer chips are hardwired to be ...
