Self-Adaptive Run-Time Variable Floating-Point Precision for Iterative Algorithms: A Joint HW/SW Approach

Self-Adaptive Run-Time Variable Floating-Point Precision for Iterative Algorithms: A Joint HW/SW Approach

Using standard Floating-Point (FP) formats for computation leads to significant hardware overhead since these formats are over-designed for error-resilient workloads such as iterative algorithms. Hence, hardware FP Unit (FPU) architectures need run-time variable precision capabilities. In this work,...
