Abstract

Microscaling quantization techniques are increasingly used to represent neural network parameters with 8 bits or fewer while preserving near-full precision accuracy. However, applying these methods efficiently in convolutional layers is not straightforward. A naive approach transfers full-precision weights and activations to processing units and quantizes each tensor twice, resulting in much more
