  1. IEEE (Ed.)
    In this paper we present an approximate division scheme for Scaled Population (SP) arithmetic, a technique that improves on the limitations of stochastic computing (SC). SP arithmetic circuits are designed (a) to perform all operations with a constant delay, and (b) they use scaling operations to help reduce errors compared to SC circuits. As part of this work, we also present a method to correlate two SP numbers with a constant delay. We compare our SP divider with SC dividers, as well as fixed-point dividers (in terms of area, power and delay). Our 512-bit SP divider has a delay (power) that is 0.08× (0.06×) that of the equivalent fixed-point binary divider. Compared to a equivalent SC divider, our power-delay-product is 13× better.
