This paper provides an overview of algorithmic noise-tolerance (ANT) for designing reliable
and energy-efficient digital signal processing systems. Techniques such as prediction-
based, error cancellation-based, and reduced precision redundancy based ANT are
discussed. Average energy-savings range from 67% to 71% over conventional systems.
Fluid IP core generators are proposed as a means of encapsulating the benefits of an ANT-
based low-power design methodology. CAD issues resident in such a methodology are also …
