Approximate Counting with a Floating-Point Counter
Memory becomes a limiting factor in contemporary applications, such as analyses of the Webgraph and molecular sequences, when many objects need to be counted simultaneously. Robert Morris [Communications of the ACM, 21:840–842, 1978] proposed a probabilistic technique for approximate counting that is extremely space-efficient. The basic idea is to increment a counter containing the value X with...
متن کاملDesign Exploration for Decimal Floating-Point Arithmetic
Commercial applications and databases typically store numerical data in decimal format. Currently, however, microprocessors do not provide instructions or hardware support for decimal floating-point arithmetic [ 1 ]. Consequently, decimal numbers are often read into computers, converted to binary numbers, and then processed using binary floating-point arithmetic. Results are then converted back...
متن کاملExploiting Binary Floating-Point Representations for Constraint Propagation
Floating-point computations are quickly finding their way in the design of safetyand mission-critical systems, despite the fact that designing floating-point algorithms is significantly more difficult than designing integer algorithms. For this reason, verification and validation of floating-point computations is a hot research topic. An important verification technique, especially in some indu...
متن کاملImprecise Minority-Based Full Adder for Approximate Computing Using CNFETs
Nowadays, the portable multimedia electronic devices, which employ signal-processing modules, require power aware structures more than ever. For the applications associating with human senses, approximate arithmetic circuits can be considered to improve performance and power efficiency. On the other hand, scaling has led to some limitations in performance of nanoscale circuits. According...
متن کاملA Transprecision Floating-Point Platform for Ultra-Low Power Computing
In modern low-power embedded platforms, the execution of floating-point (FP) operations emerges as a major contributor to the energy consumption of compute-intensive applications with large dynamic range. Experimental evidence shows that 50% of the energy consumed by a core and its data memory is related to FP computations. The adoption of FP formats requiring a lower number of bits is an inter...
