Second, stochastic computing requires a method of generating random
biased bit streams. In practice, these streams are generated with
[[PRNGPseudorandom number generator|pseudo-random number generators]]. Unfortunately, generating
(pseudo-)random bits is fairly costly (compared to the expense of,
e.g., a full adder). Therefore, the gate-level advantage of
