Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to acceleration circuitry are described. The acceleration circuitry may be deployed in a memory device and can include a memory resource and/or logic circuitry. The acceleration circuitry can perform operations on data to convert the data between one or more numeric formats, such as floating-point and/or universal number (e.g., posit) formats. The acceleration circuitry can perform arithmetic and/or logical operations on the data after the data has been converted to a particular format. For instance, the memory resource can receive data comprising a bit string having a first format that provides a first level of precision. The logic circuitry can receive the data from the memory resource and convert the bit string to a second format that provides a second level of precision that is different from the first level of precision.
