Circuits work properly even when the inputs are misaligned temporally. As a result, stochastic

systems can be designed to work with inexpensive locally generated clocks instead of using a global clock and

an expensive clock distribution network.<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Najafi | first1 = M. H. | last2 = Lilja | first2 = D. J. | last3 = Riedel| first3 = M.

Finally, stochastic computing provides an estimate of the solution

that grows more accurate as we extend the bit stream. In particular,

it provides a rough estimate very rapidly. This property is usually
