Abstract

The invention discloses a hybrid precision arithmetic unit applied to a reconfigurable array driven by a data flow, and relates to the field of arithmetic unit design. The invention provides the arithmetic unit which supports hybrid precision and multiple working modes. Compared with an arithmetic unit provided at a present stage, the invention designs the high-energy-efficiency fixed-point arithmetic unit supporting multiple specifications and hybrid precision for general computation intensive application, and working modes are selected according to requirements; and based on the low-power-consumption low-overhead hybrid precision arithmetic unit and a reasonable data flow scheduling mode designed by the invention, the problems of low resource utilization rate and precision loss of the hybrid unit in a neural network application-oriented low-precision operation mode of a coarse-grained reconfigurable array fixed-specification calculation unit are solved, and the neural network application-oriented performance of the reconfigurable array is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computing unit design, in particular to a mixed-precision computing unit applied to a reconfigurable array driven by data flow. Background technique [0002] Coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures for general-purpose computing-intensive applications are generally composed of processing units PE or reconfigurable units RC. The units are connected through topology reconfiguration of interconnect lines, and computing tasks are mapped through auxiliary software and hardware. Its main advantage is a good balance between performance and flexibility. Traditional general-purpose reconfigurable arrays only support single-precision integer arithmetic operations, and are universal in terms of application support. At the same time, neural network applications are an important part of computing-intensive applications. Studies have shown that for neural network applications, low-precision calculations can be performed wit...
