A Framework of Arithmetic-Level Variable Precision Computing for In-Memory Architecture: Case Study in MIMO Signal Processing
Computational complexity poses a significant challenge in wireless communication. Most existing attempts aim to reduce it through algorithm-specific approaches. However, the precision of computing, which directly relates to both computing performance and computational complexity, is a dimension that is fundamental but rarely explored in the literature. With the emerging architecture of in-memory computing, variable precision computing (VPC) is enabled, allowing each arithmetic operation to be p…

Some Unix history for your enlightenment: »Microsoft produces Xenix as an 'enhanced' (read 'stripped down') version for microcomputers. It has been very successful and became the de facto standard for PCs, although it needs at least a '286-based AT.«
