Abstract:
An electronic device includes a controller functional block and a computational functional block. During operation, while the computational functional block executes a test portion of a workload at at least one precision level, the controller functional block monitors a behavior of the computational functional block. Based on the behavior of the computational functional block while executing the test portion of the workload at the at least one precision level, the controller functional block selects a given precision level from among a set of two or more precision levels at which the computational functional block is to execute a remaining portion of the workload. The controller functional block then configures the computational block to execute the remaining portion of the workload at the given precision level.
