MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511076938 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, on Aug. 12, for 'bio-inspired adaptive dynamic precision scaling system for ieee 754 floating-point units.'
Inventor(s) include Om Maheshwari; and Bikram Paul.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Embodiments provide a bio-inspired adaptive dynamic precision scaling system (100) for floating-point arithmetic compliant with IEEE 754. The system includes an Input Analysis Module (110) that monitors operand magnitude, variance, and denormal frequency. A Neural-Inspired Control Logic (120) computes a cost function, compares it to defined thresholds, and generates precision selection signals that emulate neuronal gating behaviour. A stabilization timer prevents frequent precision switching. An Adaptive Precision Unit (130) reconfigures its datapath based on the selected precision, computing exponent differences, aligning mantissas, performing addition or subtraction, normalization, rounding, and exception handling. A Format Conversion Unit (140) finalizes the result for downstream use. The method covers each pipeline step, from operand monitoring to cost function evaluation, threshold comparison, exponent difference calculation, mantissa alignment, and IEEE 754 output formatting. The invention enables dynamic precision scaling for processors, mobile devices, AI accelerators, and edge nodes, optimizing computational efficiency and power consumption without sacrificing arithmetic accuracy."
