In this paper, we evaluate the impact on reliability and performance of the selective approximation of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) layers on NVIDIA mixed-precision architectures. We found that, even without affecting accuracy, the approximation from single to half precision of each layer has a different impact on both performance and output error.

Abstract

In this paper, we evaluate the impact on reliability and performance of the selective approximation of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) layers on NVIDIA mixed-precision architectures. We found that, even without affecting accuracy, the approximation from single to half precision of each layer has a different impact on both performance and output error.
