BIT-WIDTH ALLOCATION FOR SCIENTIFIC COMPUTATIONS

摘要

Methods and devices for automatically determining a suitablebit-width for data types to be used in computer resourceintensive computations. Methods for range refinement forintermediate variables and for determining suitable bit-widthsfor data to be used in vector operations are also presented. Theinvention may be applied to various computing devices such asCPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, etc.Methods and devices for automatically determining a suitablebit-width for data types to be used in computer resourceintensive computations.
