Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a computing system. The computing system comprises a data input configured to receive an input data signal, a computation unit having an input coupled with the data input, the computation unit being operative to apply a weight to a signal received at its input to generate a weighted output signal, and a controller. The controller is configured to monitor a parameter of the input signal and/or a parameter of the output signal and to issue a control signal to the computation unit to control a level of accuracy of the weighted output signal based at least in part on the monitored parameter.
Claims20
A computing system comprising:
- a data input configured to receive an input data signal;
- a computation unit having an input coupled with the data input, the computation unit being operative to apply a weight to a signal received at its input to generate a weighted output signal;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein the controller is configured to monitor a parameter of the input signal and/or a parameter of the output signal and to issue a control signal to the computation unit to control a level of accuracy of the weighted output signal based at least in part on the monitored parameter.
A computing method comprising:
- receiving, at a data input of an analog computing system, an input data signal;
- applying, by a computation unit having an input coupled with the data input, a weight to a signal received at its input to generate a weighted output signal;
- and
- monitoring, by a controller, a parameter of the input signal and/or a parameter of the output signal and to controlling, by the controller, a level of accuracy of the weighted output signal based at least in part on the monitored parameter.
