I'll be very curious if the scientific computing community will find uses of 'tensor cores'[1] for more than GEMMS. As this paper indicates, there may be more cases in HPC that can efficiently leverage small matrix multiplica

That is FP16 (rounding up to FP32). It is not sufficient for most HPC compute. Good for ML/AI, at least.

At bigco, management track goes: Manager -> director - > VP - > C-level There are often levels in between, such as senior director or senior VP, but that is the rough hierarchy.

It's tensor Ops, and so the precision might be even lower than single. It could be BF16, for example.

by arcanus 6y ago
Extending the tensor Ops to FP64 is an interesting, if not surprising, design choice. Are there many applications sure to leverage this capability? Aside from HPL, of course.

HBM is not lower latency than traditional DDR. It is significantly higher bandwidth, but the latency can be higher. On GPUs this is not a problem, because they are quite latency tolerant. CPUs might have more trouble hiding the latency imp
