Mixed Feelings About Mixed Precisions
DescriptionWhat if we have been oversolving in computational science and engineering for decades? Are low-precision arithmetic formats only for AI workloads? How can HPC applications exploit mixed-precision hardware features? This BoF invites the HPC community at large interested in applying mixed precisions into their workflows and discussing the impact on time-to-solution, memory footprint, data motion, and energy consumption. Experts from scientific applications/software libraries/hardware architectures will briefly provide the context on this trendy topic, share their own perspectives, and mostly engage with the audience via a set of questions, while gathering feedback to define a roadmap moving forward.
