US 2026/0228002 A1 · SCALE INSTRUCTION FOR DATA NORMALIZATION

Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices that implement a scale instruction within processing circuitry to efficiently scale multiple input values. The apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to detect a scale instruction among fetched instructions. Upon executing the scale instruction, the processing circuitry determines a scaling factor based on a plurality of input values, such as by selecting the maximum absolute value or the largest power of two less than or equal to it. The processing circuitry then outputs at least one of the scaling factor, one or more scaled output values derived from the input values, or both. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
