Abstract Stochastic computing (SC) was proposed in the 1960s as a low-cost alternative to conventional binary computing. It is unique in that it represents and processes information in the form of digitized probabilities. SC employs very low-complexity arithmetic units which was a primary design concern in the past. Despite this advantage and also its inherent error tolerance, SC was seen as impractical because of very long computation times and relatively low accuracy. However, current technology trends tend to increase uncertainty in circuit behavior and imply a need to better understand, and perhaps exploit, probability in computation. This article surveys SC from a modern perspective where the small size, error resilience, and probabilistic features of SC may compete successfully with conventional methodologies in certain applications. First, we survey the literature and review the key concepts of stochastic number representation and circuit structure. We then describe the design of SC-based circuits and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, we give examples of the potential applications of SC and discuss some practical problems that are yet to be solved.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
