  • Techniques for conformance testing computational operations
    Patent number: 11704231
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to performing conformance testing of a computational operation. A reference result including one or more reference intermediate products and a reference accumulator output at a first level of precision can be generated for the computational operation and based on one or more inputs. A hardware result can similarly be created using hardware at a second level of precision. The reference result can be compared to the hardware result to determine a variance value. A conformance result can be output based on whether the variance value is within a threshold range.
    Type: Grant
