Abstract

In some examples, a device includes an integrated circuit and two or more computational units configured to process respective stochastic bit streams in accordance with respective input clocks. Each of the stochastic bit streams comprises sequential sets of data bits, each of the sets of data bits representing a numerical value based on a probability that any bit in the respective set of data bits is one. The respective input clocks for each of the two or more computational units are unsynchronized.
