/Systems And Methods For Structured Mixed-precision In A Specialized Processing Block
Abstract

This disclosure is directed to a digital signal processing (DSP) block that includes multiple weight registers configurable to receive and store a first plurality of values having multiple precisions, and multiple multipliers that are each configurable to receive a respective value of the first plurality of values. The DSP block further includes one or more inputs configurable to receive a second plurality of values, and a multiplexer network configurable to receive the second plurality of values and route each respective value of the second plurality of values to a multiplier of the multipliers. The multipliers are configurable to simultaneously multiply each value of the first plurality of values by a respective value of the second plurality of values to generate a plurality of products. Additionally, the DSP block includes adder circuitry configurable to generate a first sum and a second sum based on the plurality of products.
