FP8 Formats for Deep Learning
Paulius Micikevicius, Dusan Stosic, Neil Burgess +12
FP8 is a natural progression for accelerating deep learning training inference beyond the 16-bit formats common in modern processors. In this paper we propose an 8-bit floating poi…
K-TanH: Efficient TanH For Deep Learning
Abhisek Kundu, Alex Heinecke, Dhiraj Kalamkar +7
We propose K-TanH, a novel, highly accurate, hardware efficient approximation of popular activation function TanH for Deep Learning. K-TanH consists of parameterized low-precision…
A Study of BFLOAT16 for Deep Learning Training
Dhiraj Kalamkar, Dheevatsa Mudigere, Naveen Mellempudi +16
This paper presents the first comprehensive empirical study demonstrating the efficacy of the Brain Floating Point (BFLOAT16) half-precision format for Deep Learning training acros…
MLSys: The New Frontier of Machine Learning Systems
Alexander Ratner, Dan Alistarh, Gustavo Alonso +66
Machine learning (ML) techniques are enjoying rapidly increasing adoption. However, designing and implementing the systems that support ML models in real-world deployments remains…
Ternary Neural Networks with Fine-Grained Quantization
Naveen Mellempudi, Abhisek Kundu, Dheevatsa Mudigere +3
We propose a novel fine-grained quantization (FGQ) method to ternarize pre-trained full precision models, while also constraining activations to 8 and 4-bits. Using this method, we…
