From Variability Tolerance to Approximate Computing in Parallel Integrated Architectures and Accelerators

This book focuses on computing devices and their design at various levels to combat variability. The authors provide a review of key concepts with particular emphasis on timing errors caused by various variability sources. They discuss methods to predict and prevent, detect and correct, and finally...
