Title:
BLOCK NORMALIZED ADDER WITH FOUR-DEEP SYSTOLIC PARAMETER SUPPORT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/065859
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An apparatus to facilitate a block normalized adder (BNA) with four-deep systolic parameter support is disclosed. The apparatus includes matrix acceleration hardware comprising: data processing units, wherein the respective data processing units comprise normalization adding circuitry including: multiplier circuits; shifters to receive multiplier outputs from the multiplier circuits and apply block normalization; and an accumulator circuit to accumulate shifter outputs from the shifters with an intermediate value, wherein the accumulator circuit to generate an accumulator output in a high precision and unnormalized format to pass to a next stage of the matrix acceleration hardware; a bypass data structure to cause a global source operand to bypass the data processing units; and an adder circuit to add the accumulator output from a final data processing unit of the data processing units with the global source operand and apply round to nearest even to generate a final output.
