Big Data Needs Approximate Computing.

The article looks at approximate computing, or computer programs which provide solutions at lower levels of precision than traditional ones, in the context of the growth of big data. The author says approximate computing may be acceptable for many computer uses that have grown rapidly in recent year...

      ab: The article looks at approximate computing, or computer programs which provide solutions at lower levels of precision than traditional ones, in the context of the growth of big data. The author says approximate computing may be acceptable for many computer uses that have grown rapidly in recent years, including social media and entertainment, and can offer advantages such as greater speed and lower cost. He presents an introduction to an article in the issue on approximate computing.
