Getting Started

This repository contains a proposal UVM testbench for aproximated circuits.

This repository uses DUTs found at EvoApprox8b - Approximate Adders and Multipliers Library (https://ehw.fit.vutbr.cz/evoapproxlib/)

This Testbench architecture can track the error metrics defined for correct functionality of the circuit. At the end of simulation the result is shown.

Running the tests

To run the simulation just do the make command.

make

If you want to change the simulaltor just modify the symbolic link:

ln -s Makefile.spns Makefile
