Apparatus and methods for neural network operations supporting floating point numbers of short bit length
Aspects for neural network operations with floating-point number of short bit length are described herein. The aspects may include a neural network processor configured to process one or more floating-point numbers to generate one or more process results. Further, the aspects may include a floating-point number converter configured to convert the one or more process results in accordance with at least one format of shortened floating-point numbers. The floating-point number converter may include a pruning processor configured to adjust a length of a mantissa field of the process results and an exponent modifier configured to adjust a length of an exponent field of the process results in accordance with the at least one format.
