Abstract

Systems and techniques for data-driven precision memory access of cache block data are described. Computing system components are informed as to instances where access operations involve deducing a necessary precision of the data format and expressing the requested data in a lower-precision data format with minimal to no accuracy loss. In one example, executable code for a computational task includes hints that identify when memory requests involve accessing data in a numeric data format based on a deduced precision of the stored data during memory access. The described techniques thus overcome conventional drawbacks facing systems that transmit and compute data in a higher-precision data format than required by the stored values.
