HARDWARE ACCELERATION MACHINE LEARNING AND IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM WITH ADD AND SHIFT OPERATIONS

摘要

A system and method for approximating a mathematical function using a digital processing device is disclosed. The acceleration function is performed on at least one operator for the mathematical function. The acceleration function comprises a predetermined sequence of addition operations approximating the mathematical function, wherein the mathematical function is a base 2 log function, a multiplier of 2, multiplication, inverse square root, inverse function, division, square root, and arc tangent. may include The predetermined sequence of addition operations includes additions of a first predetermined number of integer type operators and a second predetermined number of floating point type operators, wherein additions of integer type operators and floating point type operators Additions of operators of the form can occur in any order.
