Abstract

A method includes providing a set of one or more computational units implemented in a set of one or more field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices, where the set of one or more computational units is configured to generate a plurality of output values based on one or more input values. The method further includes, for each computational unit of the set of computational units, performing a first calculation in the computational unit using a first number representation, where a first output of the plurality of output values is based on the first calculation, determining a second number representation based on the first output value, and performing a second calculation in the computational unit using the second number representation, where a second output of the plurality of output values is based on the second calculation.
