This paper presents a novel Fault-tolerant design i.e., redundancy strategy based on Approximate Computing, which we call FAC. Conventionally, triple modular redundancy (TMR) has been widely used to guarantee 100% tolerance to any single fault or failure of a processing unit where the processing uni...
