| Abstract(in English) | Stochastic Computing (SC) is an unconventional calculation method using Stochastic Numbers (SNs) which are bit-streams representing numbers with the probabilities of being 1. Recently, many design methods for SC circuits have been proposed. Among them, there has been proposed a general design method to realize an SC operation by designing a Boolean circuit whose output becomes one with a certain desired probability. The method needs many inputs to produce precise SNs; the circuit area may become large by the method. In this paper, we propose a new method to generate SNs. Our method can reduce the number of inputs by using a different probability for each input. Moreover, our method can fi nd the minimum number of random inputs to generate target SNs, and design an SC circuit with small area. |
