Abstract
Systems and methods may provide a graphics processor that may identify operating conditions under which certain floating point instructions may utilize power to fewer hardware resources compared to when the instructions are executing under other operating conditions. The operating conditions may be determined by examining operands used in a given instruction, including the relative magnitudes of the operands and whether the operands may be taken as equal to certain defined values. The floating point instructions may include instructions for an addition operation, a multiplication operation, a compare operation, and/or a fused multiply-add operation.
