Approximate Computing

A rising star in energy efficiency

C-FAR researchers are leaders in the new field of approximate computing, which aims to improve energy efficiency by reducing accuracy--while still providing acceptable results.

Sunday, March 2, C-FAR PIs and students presented the first ever Workshop on Approximate Computing Across the System Stack (WACAS), co-located with ASPLOS 2014 in Salt Lake City.

Welcome to the Center for Future Architectures Research

The Center for Future Architectures Research (C-FAR) is a research center focused on innovation to create future generation scalable computing systems. The center is working on research that maximally leverages emerging circuit fabrics to enable whole new application areas. It accomplishes this goal through a highly collaborative research agenda that brings together researchers from many universities, including Michigan, Columbia, Duke, Georgia Tech, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, Illinois, Washington and Virginia.

The Center is funded by the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) through the Semiconductor Technology Advanced Research network (STARnet). The center resides at the University of Michigan. Read more at SRC and at the University of Michigan.
