Abstract
Example devices are described that include a computational unit configured to process first set of data bits encoding a first numerical value and a second set of data bits encoding a second numerical value. The computational unit includes a bit-stream generator configured to generate bit combinations representing first and second bit sequences that encode the first and second numerical values, respectively, based on a proportion of the data bits in the sequence that are high relative to the total data bits. The first bit sequence is generated using a first Sobol sequence source, and the second bit sequence is generated using a second Sobol sequence source different from the first Sobol sequence source. The device also includes computation logic configured to perform a computational operation on the bit combinations and produce an output bit-stream having a set of data bits indicating a result of the computational operation.
