Trading off Energy versus Accuracy in Modern Computing Systems : From Digital Circuit Design to Programming Techniques

Jérémy Lucien Maurice Schlachter

The slowdown of Moore's law, which has been the driving force of the electronics industry over the last 5 decades, is causing serious problem to Integrated Circuits (ICs) improvements. Technology scaling is becoming more and more complex and fabrication co ...

The complexity of error metrics

Mathias Soeken

Approximate computing exploits the fact that many applications do not require the results to be exact but not to exceed a threshold in a given error metric. Algorithms in approximate computing require to compute the error of the approximation in order to m ...

Visual speech recognition : from traditional to deep learning frameworks

Marina Zimmermann

Speech is the most natural means of communication for humans. Therefore, since the beginning of computers it has been a goal to interact with machines via speech. While there have been gradual improvements in this field over the decades, and with recent dr ...

Combining Structural and Timing Errors in Overclocked Inexact Speculative Adders

Christian Enz, Vincent Frédéric Camus, Mattia Cacciotti

Worst-case design is used in IoT devices and high performance data centers to ensure reliability, leading to a power efficiency loss. Recently, approximate computing has been proposed to trade off accuracy for efficiency. In this paper, we use Inexact Spec ...

Efficient Adaptive Hard Real-time Multi-processor Systems

Stefanos Skalistis

Modern computing systems are based on multi-processor systems, i.e. multiple cores on the same chip. Hard real-time systems are required to perform particular tasks within certain amount of time; failure to do so characterises an unaccepted behavior. Hard ...

Design and Applications of Approximate Circuits by Gate-Level Pruning

Christian Enz, Vincent Frédéric Camus, Jérémy Lucien Maurice Schlachter

Energy-efficiency is a critical concern for many systems, ranging from Internet of things objects and mobile devices to high-performance computers. Moreover, after 40 years of prosperity, Moore's law is starting to show its economic and technical limits. N ...

Never Say Never Probabilistic & Temporal Failure Detectors

Rachid Guerraoui, David Kozhaya

The failure detector approach for solving distributed computing problems has been celebrated for its modularity. This approach allows the construction of algorithms using abstract failure detection mechanisms, defined by axiomatic properties, as building b ...
