Abstract

Under the continuously growing demand for energy-efficiency and high-performance of present computer and communication systems, the approximate computing paradigm emerges as an effective option to satisfy design requirements feasible at different hierarchy levels. In this paper, the implementation design process of an approximate core processor is introduced. This hybrid precise/approximate processor is based on an open-source RISC-V architecture, aiming to characterize the impact and evaluate the overhead of approximate arithmetic circuits, when integrated under the core hierarchy, after completion of physical design.
