Inexact Design- Beyond Fault-Tolerance.

The article discusses the design of computer hardware that is intended to be inaccurate in order to increase speed and efficiency and decrease energy usage, a version of fault-tolerance developed by computer scientist Krishna Palem from Rice University. Computer researcher John von Neumann's attitud...

      ab: The article discusses the design of computer hardware that is intended to be inaccurate in order to increase speed and efficiency and decrease energy usage, a version of fault-tolerance developed by computer scientist Krishna Palem from Rice University. Computer researcher John von Neumann's attitude toward logic errors is mentioned, as well as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) developed at Nanyang Technological University, and the design of semiconductors. Moore's Law, technological trends, and relevancy ranking of information are discussed.
