A FLOP is a single floating‑point operation, meaning one arithmetic calculation (add, subtract, multiply, or divide) on ...

Arm Holdings has announced that the next revision of its ArmV8-A architecture will include support for bfloat16, a floating point format that is increasingly being used to accelerate machine learning ...

Intel today announced its third-generation Xeon Scalable (meaning Gold and Platinum) processors, along with new generations of its Optane persistent memory (read: extremely low-latency, high-endurance ...

AI/ML training traditionally has been performed using floating point data formats, primarily because that is what was available. But this usually isn’t a viable option for inference on the edge, where ...

The chip designer says the Instinct MI325X data center GPU will best Nvidia’s H200 in memory capacity, memory bandwidth and peak theoretical performance for 8-bit floating point and 16-bit floating ...

Essentially all AI training is done with 32-bit floating point. But doing AI inference with 32-bit floating point is expensive, power-hungry and slow. And quantizing models for 8-bit-integer, which is ...
