VECBEE: A Versatile Efficiency-Accuracy Configurable Batch Error Estimation Method for Greedy Approximate Logic Synthesis

This project implements an efficient batch error estimation method for approximate logic synthesis. The error estimation method is applied into two local approximate changes, that is, SASIMI and ANS.

For more details, please refer to:

Requirements

To compile both sub-projects SASIMI and ANS, you need:

  • gcc
  • g++
  • make
  • ctags

To compile the ANS sub-project, you also need:

  • libreadline
  • libboost

The ANS sub-project also requires ABC.

SASIMI

The sub-project SASIMI is very easy to compile and use.

cd SASIMI
make
./main < circuit-name > (i.e., ./main c880)

ANS

The sub-project ANS requires ABC. Clone ABC into ANS/abc/.

cd ANS
git clone git@github.com:berkeley-abc/abc.git

Build a static library libabc.a.

cd abc/
make libabc.a
cd ..

Generate a executable program:

make

It will generate a program named main.

Use ./main -h to get help.
