This book describes reliable and efficient design automation techniques
for the design and implementation of an approximate computing system.
The authors address the important facets of approximate computing
hardware design - from formal verification and error guarantees to
synthesis and test of approximation systems. They provide algorithms and
methodologies based on classical formal verification, synthesis and test
techniques for an approximate computing IC design flow. This is one of
the first books in Approximate Computing that addresses the design
automation aspects, aiming for not only sketching the possibility, but
providing a comprehensive overview of different tasks and especially how
they can be implemented.
