PARALLEL COMPUTING USING STOCHASTIC CIRCUITS AND DETERMINISTIC SHUFFLING NETWORKS

摘要

In some examples, a device includes shuffling circuitry configured to receive an input unary bit stream and generate a shuffled bit stream by selecting n-tuple combinations of bits of the input unary bit stream. The device also includes stochastic logic circuitry having a plurality of stochastic computational units configured to perform operations on the shuffled bit stream in parallel to produce an output unary bit stream, each of the stochastic computational units operating on a different one of the n-tuple combinations of the bits.
