  • TruncApp: A truncation-based approximate divider for energy efficient DSP applications
    Design Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE) 2017, 2017
    Co-Authors: Shaghayegh Vahdat, Mehdi Kamal, Ali Afzali-kusha, Massoud Pedram, Zainalabedin Navabi
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we present a high speed yet energy efficient approximate divider where the Division Operation is performed by multiplying the dividend by the inverse of the divisor. In this structure, truncated value of the dividend is multiplied exactly (approximately) by the approximate inverse value of divisor. To assess the efficacy of the proposed divider, its design parameters are extracted and compared to those of a number of prior art dividers in a 45nm CMOS technology. Results reveal that this structure provides 66% and 52% improvements in the area and energy consumption, respectively, compared to the most advanced prior art approximate divider. In addition, delay and energy consumption of the Division Operation are reduced about 94.4% and 99.93%, respectively, compared to those of an exact SRT radix-4 divider. Finally, the efficacy of the proposed divider in image processing application is studied.

  • SEERAD: A high speed yet energy-efficient rounding-based approximate divider
    2016 Design Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition (DATE), 2016
    Co-Authors: Reza Zendegani, Mehdi Kamal, Arash Fayyazi, Ali Afzali-kusha, Saeed Safari, Massoud Pedram
    Abstract:

    In this paper, a high speed yet energy-efficient approximate divider for error resilient applications is proposed. For the Division Operation, the divisor is rounded to a value with a specific form resulting in the transformation of the Division Operation to the multiplication one. The proposed approximate divider enjoys the flexibility of increasing the accuracy at the price of higher delay and hardware usage. The efficacy of the proposed approximate divider is evaluated in comparison to three different implementations of the SRT divider. The results show that the delay and energy consumption of the proposed approximate divider are, on average, 14 and 300 times smaller than those of the Radix-2 SRT with the carry-save reminder computation. Additionally, the effectiveness of the proposed approximate divider is studied in an image Division Operation performed in image processing applications. The results suggest the appropriateness of the proposed approximate divider for digital signal processing applications.
