The melding of low and high precision mathematics to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery has been a topic of discussion for some time now. During her keynote at ISSC last year, AMD chief ...

Beyond their massive scale, the pyramids hold impossible precision—ratios and numbers that continue to baffle modern engineers ...

At an exhibit of mathematical drawings by a Jewish inventor, it all adds up. “To survive I had to become creative,” said artist, author, inventor and Holocaust survivor Ivan Moscovich.

And yet Moscovich finds creativity in the precision of math, and order in the accidents of art. As he wrote in his autobiography, “The Puzzleman”: “It has to do somehow with the mysterious ...

With the order of magnitude performance improvement in reduced precision math that comes with hardware like the V100 GPU accelerator card (which uses the GV100 GPU), there is now much greater ...

Specifically, the Google TPU appears to only supports 8-bit integer math, similar to that of 8-bit processors from 30 years ago. While an FPGA, like those from Xilinx and Intel's Altera division ...
