Technological scaling has increased the susceptibility of logic circuits to radiation-induced
transient faults, making digital devices less reliable. Although different techniques have
been proposed at software, hardware, and hybrid level to mitigate these faults, all of them
cause non-negligible overheads in terms of area, energy, and performance. Recently, the
use of the approximate computing has taken relevance to minimize the overheads
associated with the mitigation of transient faults. The approximate computing paradigm aims …
