Stochastic computing rough estimate very rapidly. This property is usually referred to as "progressive precision", which suggests that the precision of stochastic numbers (bit streams) increases as computation proceeds. It is as if the most significant bits of the number arrive before its least significant bits; unlike the conventional arithmetic circuits where the most significant bits usually arrive last. In some iterative systems the partial solutions obtained through progressive precision can provide faster feedback than through traditional computing methods, leading to faster convergence. Stochastic computing is, by its very nature, random. When we examine a random bit stream and try to reconstruct
