Analyzing Multilevel Stochastic Circuits using Correlation Matrices

Stochastic computing (SC) is a digital design paradigm that foregoes the conventional binary encoding in favor of pseudo-random bitstreams. Stochastic circuits operate on the probability values of bitstreams, and often achieve low power, low area, and fault-tolerant computation. Most SC designs rely on the input bitstreams being independent or uncorrelated to obtain the best results. However, circ...
