Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to bit string conversion are described. A memory resource and/or logic circuitry may be used in performance of bit string conversion operations. The logic circuitry can perform operations on bit strings, such as universal number and/or posit bit strings, to alter a level of precision (e.g., a dynamic range, resolution, etc.) of the bit strings. For instance, the memory resource can receive data comprising a bit string having a first quantity of bits that correspond to a first level of precision. The logic circuitry can determine that the bit string having the first quantity of bits has a particular data pattern and alter the first quantity of bits to a second quantity of bits that correspond to a second level of precision based, at least in part, on the determination that the bit string has the particular data pattern.
