Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper studies high-level synthesis (HLS) of approximate computing circuits with multiple accuracy levels. This work assumes an approximate multiplier with two accuracy modes, i.e., an exact mode which accurately computes multiplication in two clock cycles and an approximate mode which inaccurately computes multiplication in a clock cycle. The HLS techniques presented in this paper utilize the approximate multiplier to generate approximate circuits with two accuracy modes.
