Abstract:
Techniques and circuits are provided for stochastic rounding. In an embodiment, a circuit includes carry-save adder (CSA) logic having three or more CSA inputs, a CSA sum output, and a CSA carry output. One of the three or more CSA inputs is presented with a random number value, while other CSA inputs are presented with input values to be summed. The circuit further includes adder logic having adder inputs and a sum output. The CSA carry output of the CSA logic is coupled with one of the adder inputs of the adder logic, and the CSA sum output of the CSA logic is coupled with another input of the adder inputs of the adder logic. A particular number of most significant bits of the sum output of the adder logic represent a stochastically rounded sum of the input values.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of stochastic rounding comprising:\n generating, at first adder logic, an intermediate sum of a plurality of input values; based on a most significant bit of the intermediate sum, determining that the intermediate sum is negative; converting a randomly generated value into a negative randomly generated value; based on the intermediate sum and the negative randomly generated value, generating, at second adder logic, a sum of the plurality of input values; selecting a particular number of most significant bits of the sum of the plurality of input values as a stochastically rounded sum of the plurality of input values.
