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.

Melanoma is a malignant form of cancer that affects the skin and has a particularly high mortality rate, so it requires early detection to increase the level of safety for users. Diagnosis and detection of skin cancer are usually done through manual screening and visual inspection. This process requires a long time, has high complexity, is subjective, and is prone to errors. CNN is one of the algorithms with advantages in accurate classification. In this research, early detection and classification of melanoma cancer were carried out based on two classes, namely benign and malignant using the Convolutional Neural Network method. Our proposed method yields an accuracy of 81.11% for the validation data. The accuracy results obtained can be improved by using more datasets and increasing the number of layers used. This study uses the CNN method using MobileNet V2 architecture to detect melanoma skin cancer. The class used is benign and malignant.

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.

Border and Inland areas are often faced with communication problems due to limited infrastructure and extreme geographical conditions. This research has produced three APRS-based communication system devices in border and inland areas that can be used to report emergency positions, namely Tracker, Digipeater, and Internet Gateway (IGate). Two APRS testing scenarios were conducted, namely sending beacons from Tracker and Ground Station, and sending beacons from Tracker, Digipeater, and Ground Station. The first scenario test results recorded a maximum distance of 2.36 kilometers (straight line) for sending and receiving information. Meanwhile, the second scenario test results can send and receive information with a maximum distance of 4.21 kilometers (straight line). This result confirms that the range of sending information signals using the digipeater device can expand the range of receiving information up to two times. Based on these results, the second scenario between Tracker, Digipeater, and Ground Station is more effectively used to increase communication coverage in border and inland areas.
