PERIOD: SETTEMBRE This Course introduces basic and advanced topics on Approximate Computing. The lectures will follow a bottom-up approach: from component, up to application-level. More in detail, all the three levels of existing approximate computing techniques will be presented: hardware, data and computation. In addition, the course also provides an overview on dependability aspects related with Approximate Computing. The comprehensive overview will allow students to resort to Approximate Computing to solve computational efficiency issues in non-accuracy bounded problems.

Exam:
...
Gli studenti e le studentesse con disabilità o con Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento (DSA), oltre alla segnalazione tramite procedura informatizzata, sono invitati a comunicare anche direttamente al/la docente titolare dell'insegnamento, con un preavviso non inferiore ad una settimana dall'avvio della sessione d'esame, gli strumenti compensativi concordati con l'Unità Special Needs, al fine di permettere al/la docente la declinazione più idonea in riferimento alla specifica tipologia di esame.
Exam:
In addition to the message sent by the online system, students with disabilities or Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) are invited to directly inform the professor in charge of the course about the special arrangements for the exam that have been agreed with the Special Needs Unit. The professor has to be informed at least one week before the beginning of the examination session in order to provide students with the most suitable arrangements for each specific type of exam.
