Abstract
A processing device is provided which comprises memory and a processor. The processor is configured to receive an array of floating point numbers each having a plurality of bits used to represent a probability value. For each floating point number, the processor is configured to replace values in a portion of the bits used to represent the probability value with index values to represent an index corresponding to a location of a corresponding floating point number in the memory. The processor is also configured to process the floating point numbers using SIMD instructions to execute one of an argmax operation and an argmin operation.
