@HPCpodcast with Shahin Khan and Doug Black

Can AI and high-performance computing get better answers with fewer bits? HPC pioneer John Gustafson, author of Every Bit Counts, joins Doug Black and Shahin Khan to challenge the default reliance on 64-bit floating point, and explain why numerical precision belongs at the center of the debate over computing performance, memory bandwidth and energy use.
