The plan for which number formats and precisions the accelerator supports for compute, accumulation and storage, and how accuracy is preserved for target workloads.
Plan Work product in the AI accelerator lifecycle
Number formats drive both efficiency and accuracy, and they are hard to change once the compute array is designed. An agreed plan keeps the hardware from supporting formats customers do not use, or lacking ones they need, and stops accuracy problems surfacing only when customers run their models.
