Comparing the Performance of Small Word-Size Floating-Point Numerics to Fixed-Point Numerics in Neural Networks

Vennapusa, Lakshmi GrishmaGeorgia Institute of Technology2025

… has become increasingly important. While fixed-point arithmetic offers resource advantages, it suffers from limited dynamic range and quantization inflexibility. This thesis introduces an alternative approach—Adaptive Precision Training (APT)—which leverages reduced-precision floating-point …
