Sorting is needed in many application domains. The data is read from memory and sent to a general purpose processor or application specific hardware for sorting. The sorted data is then written back to the memory. Reading/writing data…

Interconnect power consumption remains a bottleneck in Deep Neural Network (DNN) accelerators. While ordering data based on '1'-bit counts can mitigate this via reduced switching activity, practical hardware sorting implementations remain…

Stochastic unary computing provides low-area circuits. However, the required area consuming stochastic number generators (SNGs) in these circuits can diminish their overall gain in area, particularly if several SNGs are required. We propose…

Stochastic computing is a paradigm in which logical operations are performed on randomly generated bit streams. Complex arithmetic operations can be executed by simple logic circuits, resulting in a much smaller area footprint compared to…

Database query processing requires algorithms for duplicate removal, grouping, and aggregation. Three algorithms exist: in-stream aggregation is most efficient by far but requires sorted input; sort-based aggregation relies on external…

Sorting is a fundamental operation across numerous computational domains. Traditionally, this process involves transferring data from main memory to a processing unit for sorting, followed by writing the sorted data back to memory. This…
