This book provides readers with a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of approximate computing, enabling the design trade-off of accuracy for achieving better power/performance efficiencies, through the simplification of underlying computing resources. The authors describe in detail various efforts to generate approximate hardware systems, while still providing an overview of support techniques at other computing layers. The book is organized by techniques for various hardware components, from basic building blocks to general circuits and systems.

Muhammad Shafique is professor at the Institute of Computer Engineering, Department of Informatics, Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Austria. He is directing the Group on Computer Architecture and Robust, Energy-Efficient Technologies (CARE-Tech). He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany in Jan.2011. Before, he worked at Streaming Networks Pvt. Ltd. on advanced video coding systems for several years. His research interests are in computer architecture, power- and energy-efficient systems, robust computing, hardware security, neuromorphic computing, machine learning, approximate computing, neurosciences, emerging technologies, self-learning, cognitive systems, FPGAs, MPSo Cs, and embedded systems. Hisresearch has a special focus on cross-layer analysis, modeling, design, and optimization of computing and memory systems covering various layers of the hardware and software stacks, as well as their integration in application use cases from Internet-of-Things (Io T), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and ICT for Development (ICT4D) domains. He received the prestigious 2015 ACM/SIGDA Outstanding New Faculty Award, six gold medals in educational career, and several best paper awards and nominations at prestigious conferences like DATE, DAC, ICCAD and CODES+ISSS, Best Master Thesis Award, and Best Lecturer Award. He has given several Invited Talks, Tutorials, and Keynotes. He has also organized many special sessions at premier venues (like DAC, ICCAD, DATE, IOLTS, and ESWeek) and served as the TPC-chair, Track-chair, TPC-member of several premier conferences. He is a senior member of the IEEE and IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS), and a member of ACM, SIGARCH, SIGDA, SIGBED, and Hi PEAC. He holds one US patent and over 180 papers in premier journals and conferences.
