摘要

随机计算(SC)是一种用简单电路实现复杂计算的新范式。虽然SC对位翻转错误有很强的容忍度,但制造缺陷仍然可能导致无法接受的大计算误差。SC电路通常采用线性反馈移位寄存器(LFSRs)来产生随机比特流。在本研究中,我们观察到LFSR重播可以减少基于LFSR的SC电路故障的计算误差。我们提出了新的方法,使用LFSR补播来1)修复故障的SC电路,2)通过不断更换最小化SC电路。实验证明了所提方法的有效性。值得注意的是,与最先进的完全共享LFSR设计相比,所提出的SC电路最小化方法在不降低计算精度的情况下,平均减少了36%的面积延迟积。

Linear Feedback Shift Register Reseeding for Stochastic Circuit Repairing and Minimization
Stochastic computing (SC) is a re-emerging paradigm to realize complicated computation by simple circuitry. Although SC has strong tolerance to bit flip errors, manufacturing defects may still cause unacceptably large computation errors. SC circuits commonly adopt linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) for stochastic bit stream generation. In this study, we observe that the computation error of a faulty LFSR-based SC circuit can be reduced by LFSR reseeding. We propose novel methods to use LFSR reseeding to 1) repair a faulty SC circuit and 2) minimize an SC circuit by constant replacement. Our experiments show the effectiveness of our proposed methods. Notably, the proposed SC circuit minimization method achieves an average 36% area-delay product reduction over the state-of-the-art fully-shared LFSR design with no reduction of the computation accuracy.
