Abstract:
In an example, an apparatus comprises a compute engine comprising a high precision component and a low precision component; and logic, at least partially including hardware logic, to receive instructions in the compute engine; select at least one of the high precision component or the low precision component to execute the instructions; and apply a gate to at least one of the high precision component or the low precision component to execute the instructions. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
