On Dynamic Precision Scaling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on the observation that application phases exhibit varying degrees of sensitivity to noise (i.e., accuracy loss) in computation during execution, this paper explores how Dynamic Precision Scaling (DPS) can maximize power efficiency by tailoring the precision of computation adaptively to temporal changes in algorithmic noise tolerance. DPS can decrease the arithmetic precision of noise-tolerant phases to result in power savings at the same operating speed (or faster execution within the same power budget), while keeping the overall loss in accuracy due to precision reduction bounded.

متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Dynamic Precision Scaling on Neural Network Training
Training neural networks is a timeand compute-intensive operation. This is mainly due to the large amount of floating point tensor operations that are required during training. These constraints limit the scope of design space explorations (in terms of hyperparameter search) for data scientists and researchers. Recent work has explored the possibility of reducing the numerical precision used to...

متن کاملPrecision and scaling in morphogen gradient read-out
Morphogen gradients infer cell fate as a function of cellular position. Experiments in Drosophila embryos have shown that the Bicoid (Bcd) gradient is precise and exhibits some degree of scaling. We present experimental results on the precision of Bcd target genes for embryos with a single, double or quadruple dose of bicoid demonstrating that precision is highest at mid-embryo and position dep...
