On Evolutionary Approximation of Logic Circuits
evolutionary algorithm, approximate circuit, logic circuit, multiobjective
optimization
The concept of approximation has intensively been studied, developed and applied
not only in computer science, but also in mathematics and engineering
disciplines. The never ending requirement for low power consumption led to making
approximate circuits and computer systems even in the areas in which only
accurately working solutions have traditionally been accepted. Approximate
circuits are the circuits relaxing the requirement on the functional equivalence
between the specification and implementation in order to reduce the area on
a chip, delay or energy consumption. Approximate computing machines further
exploit and apply this idea at all system levels. This paper introduces the field
of approximate computing and shows how evolutionary design methods can automate
the design process of approximate computing systems, in particular, approximate
logic circuits.
