In this work, we propose a new two-level approximate logic synthesis method based on cube insertion and removal procedures. Experimental results have shown significant literal count and runtime reduction compared to the state-of-the-art approach. The method scalability is illustrated for a high error threshold over large benchmark circuits. The obtained solutions have presented a literal number reduction up to 38%, 56% and 93% with respect to an error rate of 1%, 3% and 5%, respectively.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.00621v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.00621v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-two-level-approximate-logic-synthesis","repo_url":"https://github.com/gabrielammes/2lals-ir","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
