    AbstractInitial quantum mechanic studies and density function theory (DFT) in the level of HF/6-311+G**, B3LYP/3-21+G* and B3LYP/6-311+G** on Keto-Enol Tautomerism (isomeric reaction) cyclohexanone structure, that results shows that activation energy for this reaction equal 64.6143(kcal.mol-1) and transition state has the highest energy level equivalent whit -194354.27(kcal.mol-1) that due to breaking of C-H bond and composing of O-H bond. The results of NBO analysis of showed that the bond π are in resonance condition with lone-pair electrons oxygen of and therefore providing enol state and the transition state in these reactions usually is the structure between ketone state and enol state. Bond order and density of electrons aren’t the same in structures enol state, transition state and ketone state. Also tautomerism cyclohexanone structure is a kind of endothermic isomeric reaction

    Energy-efficient digital processing via Approximate Computing

    No full text
    Smart Systems applications often include error resilient computations, due to the presence of noisy input data, the lack of a unique golden output, etc. Therefore, computation accuracy constraints can be relaxed to improve a system's efficiency. Recently, a design paradigm called Approximate Computing (AC) has been proposed, that formalizes the exploitation of the accuracy dimension as a way to optimize efficiency in digital computing systems. AC configures configures as one of the most promising ways to reduce energy consumption in Smart Systems. In this chapter, we present an overview of the different AC techniques proposed in literature. Then, we focus on Algorithmic Noise Tolerance (ANT), one of the most suitable AC approaches for Smart Systems applications. In particular, we investigate for the first time the automatic application of this technique to an existing design. We show how this automation can be achieved with a flow that leverages standard EDA tools, with minimal input from the designer. Moreover, for a typical DSP circuit, we are able to obtain almost 45% total power saving

    Some new bi-accelerator two-point methods for solving nonlinear equations

    Full text link
    In this work, we extract some new and efficient two-point methods with memory from their corresponding optimal methods without memory, to estimate simple roots of a given nonlinear equation. Applying two accelerator parameters in each iteration, we try to increase the convergence order from four to seven without any new functional evaluation. To this end, firstly we modify three optimal methods without memory in such a way that we could generate methods with memory as efficient as possible. Then, convergence analysis is put forward. Finally, the applicability of the developed methods on some numerical examples is examined and illustrated by means of dynamical tools, both in smooth and in nonsmooth functions.The authors thank to the anonymous referees for their suggestions to improve the final version of the paper.
