It’s not irrelevant for machine learning in general, e.g. Stan (Bayesian/MCMC) is fp64 only, so its OpenCL offloading is more effective where fp64 is better supported.
It’s less relevant for the kinds of deep neural net work enabled by a vendor who’s software stack is designed around 32 and lower bit types, perhaps in an attempt to ensure their flops numbers are highest?
