Mixed Feelings about Mixed Precisions

DescriptionWhat if we have been oversolving in computational science and engineering for decades? Are low precision arithmetic formats only for AI workloads? How can HPC applications exploit mixed-precision hardware features? This BoF invites the HPC community at large interested in applying mixed precisions into their workflows and discussing the impact on time-to-solution, memory footprint, data motion, and energy consumption. Experts from scientific applications/software libraries/hardware architectures will briefly provide the context on this trendy topic, share their own perspectives, and mostly engage with the audience via a set of questions, while gathering feedback to define a roadmap moving forward.
