摘要: Advanced handheld applications are demanding for implementations of higher energy efficiency and performance. In typical implementations, the finite precision information is only known after fixed-point refinement, once data-flow has been frozen. Instead, in this paper we suggest propagation to drive transformations order achieve a mapping efficiency. Then, provided flexible architecture with low run-time switching overhead, under execution can opportunistically be tuned provide instantaneous computational accuracy required by application. Thereby, average number operations those minimized. This principle demonstrated implementation 128-point FFT present WLAN receiver. Compared conventional implementation, reduction 49% 65% cycles achieved depending on conditions external
