Context-aware bit-stream generator for deterministic stochastic computing

A method for processing input data in a deterministic bit-stream processing computing system, comprising:

• (a) providing two or more context-aware bit-stream generators, comprising:
• a modified counter, comprising an n-bit input;
• a control unit;
• a constant register;
• a comparator;
• wherein two or more output bits of the modified counter are connected to the comparator in reverse order;
• (b) for each context-aware bit-stream generator:
• (i) receiving n-bit input data by the constant register;
• (ii) the control unit reads the n-bit input data in the constant register;
• (iii) the control unit determines a minimum data width for representing the n-bit input data;
• (iv) sending the minimum data width determined by the control unit to the modified counter;
• (v) sending the two or more output bits of the modified counter to the comparator in reverse order;
• (vi) comparing the two or more output bits of the modified counter to the n-bit input data of the constant register;
• and
• (vii) generating a low-discrepancy bit stream;
• (c) inputting each low-discrepancy bit stream to a stochastic processing unit;
• (d) converting an output of the stochastic processing unit to binary by a stochastic to binary converter.
