Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving an input value and a floating-point scaling factor and determining (1) an integer scaling factor based on the floating-point scaling factor, (2) a pre-scaling adjustment value representative of a number of places by which to shift a binary representation of the input value prior to a scaling operation, and (3) a post-scaling adjustment value representative of a number of places by which to shift the binary representation of the input value following the scaling operation. The method may further include calculating a scaled result value by (1) shifting rightwards the binary representation of the input value by the pre-scaling adjustment value, (2) scaling the shifted binary representation of the input value by the integer scaling factor, and (3) shifting rightwards the shifted and scaled binary value by the post-scaling adjustment value. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
