Abstract: A processor-implemented method for multiplication approximation includes receiving inputs to be processed using an artificial intelligence (AI) compute engine. The inputs have a first precision. The AI compute engine is configured for processing in a second precision different from the first precision. A first parameter for the inputs and a second parameter for the AI compute engine are defined. The first parameter and the second parameter respectively indicate a first portion of the first precision and a second portion of the second precision to use for computation by the AI compute engine. The inputs and the second set of compute engine parameters are respectively adapted according to the first parameter and the second parameter to generate a first representation and a second representation. An approximation of an AI workload for the inputs is generated based on the first representation and the second representation.
