Word type/boundary propagation with memory performance applications

Abstract:

A method includes, for each data value in a set of one or more data values, determining a boundary between a high order portion of the data value and a low order portion of the data value, storing the low order portion at a first memory location utilizing a low data fidelity storage scheme, and storing the high order portion at a second memory location utilizing a high data fidelity storage scheme for recording data at a higher data fidelity than the low data fidelity storage scheme.
