Age of Mixed-Precision: Algorithms, Libraries, and Applications

Organizer: Piotr Luszczek, (MIT LLSC & UTK ICL)

This is a special special session of IEEE HPEC 2025.

AI has triggered an explosion of new capabilities for computing with mixed-precision number formats. Algorithms that can take advantage of these innovations can be accelerated by many orders of magnitude. Future progress in computational methods is dependent on the development of these new approaches. This session will focus on the use of mixed-precision formats across a variety of hardware platforms. The session will highlight advancements in algorithms, software, libraries, and applications that have incorporated these new number formats and leveraged their potential for improvements in performance, bandwidth, and energy consumption.
