    Abstract: An approximate cache system is disclosed. The system includes a quality aware cache controller (QACC), a cache, a quality table configured to receive addresses and a quality specification from the processor associated with each address and further configured to provide the quality specification for each address to the QACC, wherein the QACC controls approximation is based on one or more of i) approximation through partial read operations; ii) approximation through lower read currents; iii) approximation through skipped write operations; iv) approximation through partial write operations; v) approximations through lower write duration; vi) approximation through lower write currents; and vii) approximations through skipped refreshes.

    Abstract: A tomography system having a central processing unit, a system memory communicatively connected to the central processing unit, and a hardware acceleration unit communicatively connected to the central processing unit and the system memory, the hardware accelerator configured to perform at least a portion of an MBIR process on computer tomography data. The hardware accelerator unit may include one or more voxel evaluation modules which evaluate an updated value of a voxel given a voxel location in a reconstructed volume. By processing voxel data for voxels in a voxel neighborhood, processing time is reduces.

    Abstract: A memory capable of carrying out compute-in-memory (CiM) operations is disclosed. The memory includes a matrix of bit cells having a plurality of bit cells along one or more rows and a plurality of bit cells along one or more columns, each bit cell having a value stored therein, an address decoder configured to receive addresses and activate two or more of the rows associated with the addresses, and a sensing circuit coupled to each column of bit cells, and configured to provide two or more outputs, wherein each output is associated with at least one compute operation performed on values stored in the bit cells in the column.
