A new technical paper titled “IMAGIN: Library of IMPLY and MAGIC NOR Based Approximate Adders for In-Memory Computing” was published by researchers at DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) and Indian Institute of Information Technology Guwahati.
“We developed a framework to generate approximate adder designs with varying output errors for 8, 12, and 16-bit adders. We implemented a state-of-the-art scheduling algorithm to obtain the best mapping of these approximate adder designs for IMC. We performed an exhaustive design space exploration to obtain the pareto-optimal approximate adder designs for various design and error metrics. We then proposed IMAGIN, a library of approximate adders compatible with memristor based IMC architecture, which are based on IMPLY and MAGIC design styles,” states the paper.
