Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The propagation delay and the transition probability along each path inside an LSI widely vary depending on input data, and this property can be exploited to design high-performance approximation circuit with a negligible error rate.
In order to identify cones to be optimized based on input data, for a target circuit, our proposed algorithm virtually varies the operating clock frequency and simulates its behavior by incorporating timing error prediction circuits into it.
This simulation can be run at a fast speed and applied in a wide range of situations.
For the implementation and evaluation of our algorithm, we construct a novel design flow which identifies cones to be optimized on FPGA and then optimizes them by using a commercially available design tool.
In this paper, our algorithm is applied to ISCAS85 benchmarks.
Experimental results show that our algorithm can achieve performance increase by up to 16.7% within acceptable error rate of 2.1% compared with conventional design techniques.
These results also show that the efficiency of our algorithm varies depending on input data.
