Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that in response to an identification that one or more hardware units are to execute on a first type of data format, decomposes a first original floating point number to a plurality of first segmented floating point numbers that are to be equivalent to the first original floating point number. The technology may further in response to the identification, decompose a second original floating point number to a plurality of second segmented floating point numbers that are to be equivalent to the second original floating point number. The technology may further execute a multiplication operation on the first and second segmented floating point numbers to multiply the first segmented floating point numbers with the second segmented floating point numbers.
