Abstract:
The present embodiments relate to integrated circuits with circuitry that efficiently performs mixed-precision floating-point arithmetic operations. Such circuitry may be implemented in specialized processing blocks. The specialized processing blocks may include configurable interconnect circuitry to support a variety of different use modes. For example, the specialized processing blocks may implement fixed-point addition, floating-point addition, fixed-point multiplication, floating-point multiplication, sum of two multiplications in a first floating-point precision, with or without casting to a second floating-point precision and the latter followed by a subsequent addition in the second floating-point precision, if desired, just to name a few. In some embodiments, two or more specialized processing blocks may be arranged in a cascade chain and perform together more complex operations such as a recursive mode dot product of two vectors of floating-point numbers having a first floating-point precision and output the dot product in a second floating-point precision.

Claim (Index 34):
The method of  claim 29 , wherein performing the binary reduction comprises:\n using a first cast function circuit of the first specialized processing block that receives the first partial product and converts the first partial product to the first precision level before performing the binary reduction; and using a second cast function circuit of the second specialized processing block that receives the second partial product and converts the second partial product to the first precision level before performing the binary reduction.
