| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aimed to design a common platform for Approximate Computing. We confirmed the availability of this platform on large-scale data processing, such as image processing and machine learning. Especially for convolutional neural networks (CNNs), we show that the computational complexity can be significantly reduced with our method. In addition, we also studied the configuration and implementation of the hardware of the computing platform. We designed it based on a super-scalar processor and evaluated its speed and power consumption. In addition, we proposed a method to reduce power consumption of the platform and confirmed its efficacy by simulation.
