Stochastic computing (SC) was proposed in the 1960s as a low-cost alternative to
conventional binary computing. It is unique in that it represents and processes information in …

Parameter variations, noise susceptibility, and increasing energy dissipation of cmos
devices have been recognized as major challenges in circuit and microarchitecture design …

Recent developments in the field of electronics have produced nano-scale devices whose
operation can only be described in probabilistic terms. In contrast with the conventional …

Triple-modular redundancy (TMR), which consists of three identical modules and a voting
circuit, is a common architecture for soft-error tolerance. However, the original TMR suffers …

Mounting concerns over variability, defects and noise motivate a new approach for
integrated circuits: the design of stochastic logic, that is to say, digital circuitry that operates …

As CMOS devices are scaled down into the nanometer regime, concerns about reliability are
mounting. Instead of viewing nano-scale characteristics as an impediment, technologies …
