Once the domain of esoteric scientific and business computing, floating point calculations are now practically everywhere. From video games to large language models and kin, it would seem that a pr… ...

The new technique is basic—instead of using complex floating-point multiplication (FPM), the method uses integer addition.

Most AI chips and hardware accelerators that power machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) applications include floating-point units (FPUs). Algorithms used in neural networks today are often ...

AI engineers develop an algorithm that will replace floating-point multiplication with integer addition to make AI processing more efficient.
