Decimal Engine for Energy-Efficient Multicore Processors

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Prior work demonstrated the use of specialized processors, or accelerators, be energy-efficient for binary floatingpoint (BFP) division and square root, and for decimal floatingpoint (DFP) operations. In the dark silicon era, where not all the circuits on the die can be powered simultaneously, we propose a hybrid BFP/DFP engine to perform BFP division and DFP addition, multiplication and division. The main purpose of this engine is to offload the binary floating-point units for this type of operations and reduce the latency for decimal operations, and power and temperature for the whole die.
