Abstract

Low-precision numeric types offer significant efficiency and energy benefits for computing applications. Mixed-precision algorithms, combining low and high precision types, maintain accuracy while improving performance. Despite advantages, there exist challenges on adapting existing mixed-precision algorithms to new technologies, such as new hardware architectures and new low-precision data types. This paper presents current challenges and opportunities to advance science in this domain targetting more energy efficient solutions.
