In March, Nvidia introduced its GH100, the first GPU based on the new “Hopper” architecture, which is aimed at both HPC and AI workloads, and importantly for the latter, supports an eight-bit FP8 ...

Last year, I was at the decision point. I needed to select a processor for the next version of Critical Link's MityDSP “custom-off-the-shelf” CPU platform—basically a collection of integrated building ...

Floating-point values contain three fields: a sign bit, exponent bits, and significand or mantissa bits. The IEEE-754 floating-point number format defined a common floating-point format that most ...

Researchers at Nvidia have developed a novel approach to train large language models (LLMs) in 4-bit quantized format while maintaining their stability and accuracy at the level of high-precision ...

Embedded C and C++ programmers are familiar with signed and unsigned integers and floating-point values of various sizes, but a number of numerical formats can be used in embedded applications. Here ...
