Stochastic FSMs and SCC 2014/03/31 Chia-Yao
Outline • Stochastic finite state machines • SCC in stochastic finite state machine • Future work
Stochastic FSMs • Hyperbolic tangent function:
Stochastic FSMs • The transition matrix T of a sequential circuit can be interpreted as a Markov chain, which is an FSM with probabilistic state transitions • The stationary state π of a Markov chain is an eigenvector of T with the defining property
Stochastic FSMs • Example: Solving equation [S0 S1 S2 S3]
Stochastic FSMs X [S0 S1 S2 S3] = [S0 S1 S2 S3]
Stochastic FSMs • Pros: • Approximate non-polynomial function more accurately than combinational SC • Can mathematically analyze the result of FSM
Stochastic FSMs • Cons: • Ad hoc design: no efficient way known to synthesis arbitrary function • Can only decompose the target function into sub-functions which can be implemented using existing stochastic circuit Given a FSM Mathematically analyze its function ? Given a function Find the FSM of the function
SCC in stochastic FSMs • Signal correlations appear in FSMs • For instance, if the state 11 is never used (happened), the signal w0 and w1 are negative correlated
Future Work • Study papers about FSMs and SCC • Study Markov chain
