Method for optimizing performance of algorithm using precision scaling

Abstract

This application relates to a method for optimizing algorithm performance using precision scaling, wherein the method according to an embodiment of present invention comprises obtaining a number of iterations of a unit operation according to precisions of the algorithm including the unit operation that is repeatedly performed, wherein the precisions include a first precision and a second precision, and the number of iterations include a first number of iterations corresponding to the first precision and a second number of iterations corresponding to the second precision; inspecting available precisions of a device on which the algorithm is to be executed, wherein the available precisions include a first available precision corresponding to the first precision and a second available precision corresponding to the second precision; determining an optimal precision by repeatedly performing the unit operation corresponding to an initial operation of the algorithm using the inspected available precision; and repeatedly performing the unit operation corresponding to a remaining operation of the algorithm with the optimal precision.
