The authors discuss the different AxC design and validation techniques, and their integration. They also describe real AxC applications, spanning from mobile to high performance computing and also safety-critical applications. Provides a single-source reference to the state-of-the art of approximate computing (AxC); Presents a global picture of the approximate computing paradigm, at various levels of abstraction; Discusses real AxC applications, such as Approximate Computing for IoT, high performance computing and safety-critical applications UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-94705-7 ER -
