Reconfigurable Approximate Computing in Autonomous Systems

Date:

This invited talk explored Reconfigurable Approximate Computing in Autonomous Systems, focusing on the balance between energy efficiency and trustworthiness.

Key themes included:

  • Approximate Linear Algebra and FPGA-based reconfigurability
  • Approximate accelerator generation and automation
  • Algorithmic and hardware resilience under approximation
  • Energy-efficient 3D depth reconstruction
  • Approximate model predictive control and PID controller benchmarks
  • Power scaling in fine-grained approximation

The talk highlighted both the opportunities and challenges of deploying approximation in autonomous systems under low-SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) constraints, emphasizing reliability, scalability, and security.
