Survey the stochastic computing and probabilistic transfer matrix (PTM) in logic circuits

Abstract

Stochastic computing is a new alternative approach to conventional real arithmetic. Stochastic computation has been considered for different applications such as implementation of real-time motor controller and Error control coding and artificial neural networks. We have shown how to construct classic gates using probabilistic equations. In this paper, we focus on several logic circuits based on Probabilistic Transfer Matrix (PTM). In addition, this paper provides a survey of stochastic logic circuits with generating arbitrary probabilities. Also, we demonstrate PTMs is a methodology for representing probabilistic behaviour in logic circuits. In addition, our purpose has been to study the applicability of PTM in logic circuits. Results demonstrate that different kinds of logic circuits architecture can be verified with PTM methodology.
