Talk 2: Approximate Computing: What and Why?

Description

This talk is going to discuss “Approximate Computing” which is a computing technique that aims to reduce the power, time and resources used in computing systems (hardware, software, memory interactions). In order to do so, this technique exploits the fact that most programs are error tolerant and they execute their results more accurately than needed. The way approximate computing works is quite simple, intentionally lessen the accuracy of a given system in order to save energy, memory and/or time.
