Introduction -- The Approximate Computing Paradigm -- Radiation Effects on Digital Devices -- Methodologies for Testing and Assessing Approximate Computing Systems -- Embedded Systems Fault Tolerance -- Conclusion.

This book introduces the concept of approximate computing for software and hardware designs and its impact on the reliability of embedded systems. It presents approximate computing methods and proposes approximate fault tolerance techniques applied to programmable hardware and embedded software to provide reliability at low computational costs. The book also presents fault tolerance techniques based on approximate computing, thus presenting how approximate computing can be applied to safety-critical systems. Provides a single-source reference on how approximate computing can be applied to safety-critical systems Describes how approximate computing can be applied in all the multiple stacks of computing Discusses evaluation methodologies for testing and assessing the approximation techniques presented.
