Claim 0:
1. A hybrid analog-digital processor comprising:
circuitry comprising an analog processor, wherein the circuitry is configured to perform an operation involving a matrix, the performing comprising:
determining a plurality of scaling factors for a plurality of portions of the matrix, the plurality of scaling factors comprising a first scaling factor for a first portion of the plurality of portions and a second scaling factor for a second portion of the plurality of portions;
scaling the plurality of portions of the matrix using respective ones of the plurality of scaling factors to obtain a scaled plurality of portions of the matrix, the scaling comprising scaling the first portion of the matrix using the first scaling factor and scaling the second portion of the matrix using the second scaling factor;
programming the analog processor using the scaled plurality of portions of the matrix;
performing, by the analog processor programmed using the scaled plurality of portions of the matrix, the operation to generate an output; and
determining a result of the operation involving the matrix using the output generated by the analog processor.
