Abstract

Reconfigurable architectures promise significant performance benefits by customizing the configurations to suit the computations. Variable precision for computations is one important method of customization for which reconfigurable architectures are well suited. This paper develops a formal methodology to manage the variable precision computations. The class of computations that are considered are loops in applications programs which accumulate values with increasing precision as the iterations progress.
