Approximate circuits and approximate circuit design
methodologies attracted a significant attention of researchers
as well as industry in recent years. In order to accelerate
the approximate circuit and system design process and to
support a fair benchmarking of circuit approximation methods,
we propose a library of approximate adders and multipliers
called EvoApprox8b. This library contains 430 nondominated 8-bit approximate adders created from 13 conventional
adders and 471 non-dominated 8-bit approximate multipliers
created from 6 conventional multipliers. These implementations
were evolved by a multi-objective Cartesian genetic
programming. The EvoApprox8b library provides Verilog,
Matlab and C models of all approximate circuits. In addition
to standard circuit parameters, the error is given for seven
different error metrics. The EvoApprox8b library is available at: www.fit.vutbr.cz/research/groups/ehw/approxlib |
