It of course depends on workload but I know more than a little about this specific problem space and reducing the space+energy cost of the multipliers is useful. If the idea proposed worked well enough it might be a useful block in a camera ISP chip, audio interface for wake word and speech preprocessing, and similar applications where the models are small and energy is precious.
- creato 3y agoI don’t know, sorting requires a lot of moving data around, which is expensive for energy too. Maybe this will be used for vectors of small fixed/bounded size, but then you don’t get to amortize the cost of the logs as much either.
