- FMA REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION IN A FUSED MULTIPLY-ADD FMA UNIT RESPONSIVE TO INPUT DATA VALUES

摘要

In an embodiment, a combined multiplication-add (FMA) circuit is configured to receive a plurality of input data values and perform FMA instructions on the input data values. The circuit includes an adder unit coupled to an output of a multiplier unit and a multiplier unit and a control logic that receives input data values and reduces switching operations to reduce power consumption of one or more components of the circuit according to one or more values of the input data values. . Other embodiments are described and claimed.
