Original Abstract Submitted
A method of performing a floating-point operation using a memory processor (the floating-point operation being a multiplication of a first matrix and a second matrix that are double-precision floating-point matrices) includes: determining whether an emulation is to be used to perform the floating-point operation, based on a result of the determining whether the emulation is to be used, determining whether to use the memory processor for the emulation, the emulation comprising stages, based on a result of the determining whether to use the memory processor for the emulation, individually determining whether to use the memory processor for each stage of the emulation, and multiplying the first matrix and the second matrix based on a result of the individually determining whether to use the memory processor.
