Bit-serial linear algebra processor

Abstract:

The invention is notably directed to a computing system configured to perform linear algebraic operations. The computing system comprises a co-processing module comprising a co-processing unit. The co-processing unit comprises a parallel array of bit-serial processing units. The bit-serial processing units are adapted to perform the linear algebraic operations with variable precision. The invention further concerns a related computer implemented method and a related computer program product.
