  • Memory reduction method for fixed point matrix multiply
    Patent number: 9870341
    Abstract: Embodiments include computing devices, apparatus, and methods implemented by the apparatus for memory reduction for fixed point matrix multiply on a computing device. The computing device may implement a partial matrix multiplication using a first block of fixed point data of a first matrix and a second block of fixed point data of a second matrix using full precision resulting in a first intermediate result. The computing device may down convert the first intermediate result by converting fixed point data of the first intermediate result to fixed point data using lower precision resulting in a first down converted intermediate result.
    Type: Grant
