This project is a fork of Gemmini, modified to integrate a custom multiplier developed in MARLIN for approximate computation. The primary objective was to enhance the Gemmini core by enabling support for configurable approximation levels and precision in arithmetic operations.

The original regular multiplier in Gemmini was replaced with the MARLIN approximate multiplier, which introduces two control signals that allow runtime selection of:

• Approximation Level: Controls the degree of computational approximation.
• Precision: Determines the level of arithmetic accuracy.

To accommodate these features, a custom instruction was added to the Gemmini instruction set, enabling dynamic configuration of the multiplier's behavior.

• For details about the original Gemmini framework, refer to the Gemmini README.
• For specifics about the modifications and implementation in this project, consult the project report included in this repository.
