This paper investigates the impact of approximate subtractors in the hardware architecture of the Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD) computation within the Test Zone Search (TZS) algorithm, commonly used in current video encoders like the Versatile Video Coding (VVC). Four state-of-the-art imprecise subtractors $(AppS, AXSC1, AXSC2, AXSC3)$ were analyzed across various video resolutions to assess their influence on computational effort, energy consumption, and coding efficiency. The results show that subtractors like $AppS_{4}$ and $AXCS1_{4}$ provide significant reductions in energy consumption with minimal impact on video coding quality. These findings are especially relevant for low-power devices and embedded systems, where energy efficiency is critical. The use of imprecise subtractors offers a promising tradeoff between computational efficiency and energy savings, making them a viable solution for high-performance video encoders.

Demand generation is crucial for organizations, supplying sales teams with well-qualified commercial opportunities. Despite the wide variety of existing opportunity qualification methodologies, the subjective nature of experts’ final evaluation remains an obstacle to efficiency and productivity in the business process. This research investigated how Fuzzy Set Theory and Fuzzy Logic could be applied to the BANT methodology for qualifying commercial opportunities, aiming to replace these deliberative evaluations by experts to increase the sales cycle performance. A fuzzy inference system was developed to emulate the assessments of the experts. The analysis of the ratings obtained after processing a sample of commercial opportunities from 2022 and 2023 confirmed the system’s effectiveness in aligning with expert perceptions. While the study indicated room for refinements in the model, the findings underscore the potential to streamline the qualification of opportunities and improve sales cycle performance.

Speech content is closely related to the stability of speaker embeddings in speaker verification tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture based on self-constraint learning (SCL) and reconstruction task (RT) to remove the influence of phonetic information on speaker embedding generation. First, SCL is used to reduce the divergence of frame-level features, which can avoid ambiguity between the resulting embeddings of the two utterances being compared. Second, RT is used to further remove phonetic information in frame-level layers, focusing on speaker-discriminative feature transformation. In our experiments, the speaker embedding models were trained on the VoxCeleb2 dataset and evaluated on the VoxCeleb1, Librispeech, SITW and VoxMovies datasets. Experimental results on VoxCeleb1 show that the proposed DROP-TDNN system reduced the EER by 7.5%, compared to the state-of-the-art ECAPA-TDNN system. Furthermore, the proposed DROP-TDNN system also outperformed the ECAPA-TDNN system in the experiments on SITW, Librispeech and VoxMovies under cross-dataset conditions. In the experiments on SITW, the proposed system reduced the EER by 3.4% compared to the ECAPA-TDNN system. In the experiments on Librispeech, the proposed system demonstrated the advantage of removing phonetic information under the clean speech condition, with a significant reduction of 25.5% in EER compared to the ECAPA-TDNN system. In the experiments on VoxMovies, the proposed system reduced the EER by up to 7.9% compared to the ECAPA-TDNN system under different pronunciation and background conditions. © 2014 IEEE.

Approximate computing (AxC) emerged as a design alternative to boost design efficiency by leveraging the inherent error resiliency of many applications. Recent literature shows attackers could exploit some AxC mechanisms to create new attack surfaces. This work proposes integrity checking and exclusive logic-based methods detect attacks by hardware faults on AxC systems. During ASIC-based synthesis, we investigate the security vulnerabilities of the Approximate Parallel Prefix Adder (AxPPA). We compare the expected output of the designer with the output netlists of ASIC-based synthesis. We propose a verification methodology consisting of a golden model (GM) described in a Simulink model and the DUT represented at the netlist level in a standard cell library after logic synthesis. Experimental results show that the AxPPA has an error range of 1.263 × 10 −5 to 0.0098 concerning the designer’s expected output under ASIC-based synthesis attacks.

Addition units are present across many computational kernels inherent in various error-tolerant applications, including machine learning, signal, image, and video processing. Notably, adder compressors are the target when high speed and low power are the main design concerns. This work introduces energy-efficient structures of 3-2 approximate adder compressors (Ax3-2) and three distinct versions of 4-2 approximate adder compressors (Ax4-2). We compared our proposed Ax3-2 and Ax4-2 compressors with state-of-the-art energy-efficient approximate adder compressors (AxACs). Both Ax3-2 and Ax4-2 models passed through rigorous tests as standalone units. Furthermore, we integrated the Ax4-2 models into an essential application kernel appearing in video coding, i.e., the Sum Squared Differences (SSD) video accelerator. We introduce Ax3-2 and Ax4-2 that yield a new Pareto front concerning both energy-quality and area-quality trade-offs, thereby demonstrating a marked improvement over the prevailing state-of-the-art energy-efficient AxACs.

This work proposes an accuracy-driven evaluation model of an approximate adder (AxA) called an approximate parallel prefix adder (AxPPA). It explores the significance of approximate computing (AxC) in optimizing performance and energy efficiency in computer systems by accepting minor accuracy trade-offs. We examine the AxPPA through a meticulous error analysis model and an automated analysis framework that comprehensively evaluates area and delay based on the fundamental equations of parallel prefix adders (PPAs). Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of lower-part approximation in adders, effectively addressing the elongation of carry chains and enhancing overall efficiency. The choice of approximation method directly impacts computational accuracy, resulting in variations in the number of approximated bits and carry chain length for a given tolerance level. Conducting a thorough comparison of accuracy trade-offs requires a unique design and simulation for each unit and approximation level, which can be time-consuming, particularly in larger circuits. Therefore, the proposed approach facilitates the exploration of larger circuit design space encompassing multiple AxAs, significantly minimizing time investment. In our experiments, the accuracy-driven evaluation of the lower part approximation method in AxA took 71.268 milliseconds for 1 million random inputs, with a K -bits approximation ranging from 1 to 16. The results indicate that AxPPA exhibits a minor error magnitude among the explored literature AxAs, being approximately 50.97% more accurate on average.

This work proposes an ultra-low-energy ECG data compression with VLSI DHWT-based (discrete Haar wavelet transform) architecture to enable storage and transmission in resource-constrained environments. We present original, pruned, and approximate DHWT (ODHWT, PDHWT, and AxDHWT, respectively) hardware architectures for ECG data compression at ultra-high energy efficiency. Our best proposal employing the AxDHWT hardware architecture requires just five additions only. Using a PDHWT technique to improve energy efficiency observes the evolution of the signal-to-noise ratio and the ultimate impact on the ECG data compression application. The DHWT-based configurations architecture proposal achieves a minimum compression ratio of 0.125 (i.e., 1/8) and a PRD (percent root difference) <1.34. We implemented the VLSI architectures in 65nm CMOS technology in maximum and fixed frequencies and two different supply voltages. The AxDHWT occupies a die area of 0.64mm 2 . The measured total power is $0.534\mu {\mathrm {W}}$, the higher energy-savings among the ECG data compression architectures.

The 5G Quality-of-Service (QoS) objectives con-tributed to the Heterogeneous Cellular Network (HCN) evolution, dictating that applications can rely on low-latency and high-bandwidth networks. However, concurrent requests of large amount of multimedia data generate a burden on the backhaul and fronthaul networks due to redundant retransmissions and pose challenges for achieving the QoS objectives. Although mobile network operators can place content closer to the HCN edge to improve the overall QoS indicators, there are still challenges to design a cache policy aware of limited storage capacity, different content popularity, device mobility, and network congestion. This work innovates by introducing a cooperative policy to join caches placement and routing users' requests atop an HCN. By combining networking and cache QoS requirements, the policy balances the fronthaul network load and dynamically maps the caches to HCN resources. We formulated the cache policy through linear programming and in-depth evaluated its performance using extensive simulation scenarios. The results indicate that the proposed network-aware policy decreases the network latency, even when subject to changes in content popularity distribution and total HCN storage capacity.
