面向移动终端的统计机器翻译需求越来越多,但无浮点运算单元的处理器限制了翻译速度。该文提出了一种对统计机器翻译解码运算的定点化运算方法,缓解了无浮点运算单元的处理器对翻译速度的影响。基于PC和移动终端的实验表明,在保证翻译质量的情况下,利用定点处理浮点运算的解码器的运算速度较编译器模拟的浮点运算速度提高135.6%。因此,该方法可以有效地提高浮点运算能力薄弱的移动终端统计机器翻译速度。
The demand for statistical machine translation(SMT) on mobile terminals is increasing,but the processor without floating point unit(FPU) restricts the translation speed.This paper proposes an approach to switch floating point operation to fixed point operation for decoder of SMT system on mobile terminals,and increase the translation speed on the processor without FPU.The experiments based on PC and mobile terminal show while this approach assures the quality of translation,the speed of our approach is 135.6% faster than the speed of floating point operation emulated by compiler.Therefore,this approach can efficiently increase the translation speed of SMT system on mobile terminals with weak ability in floating point operation.
