Stochastic rounding (SR) randomly maps a real number x to one of the two nearest values in a finite precision number system. The probability of choosing either of these two numbers is …
Large language models have been widely adopted but require significant GPU memory for inference. We develop a procedure for Int8 matrix multiplication for feed-forward and …
This chapter provides approaches to the problem of quantizing the numerical values in deep Neural Network computations, covering the advantages/disadvantages of current methods …
Stateful optimizers maintain gradient statistics over time, eg, the exponentially smoothed sum (SGD with momentum) or squared sum (Adam) of past gradient values. This state can …
A domain-specific supercomputer for training deep neural networks Page 1 JULY 2020 | VOL. 63 | NO. 7 | COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM 67 DOI:10.1145/3360307 Google’s TPU …
We introduce new methods for 1) accelerating and 2) stabilizing training for large language- vision models. 1) For acceleration, we introduce SwitchBack, a linear layer for int8 quantized …
Deep neural networks (DNNs) consist of layers of neurons interconnected by synaptic weights. A high bit-precision in weights is generally required to guarantee high accuracy in …
The quality of a printed circuit board (PCB) is paramount towards ensuring proper functionality of electronic products. To achieve the required quality standards, substantial …
