Any idea of what tasks could be prime targets for 8.4tf? AI? Physics? |
Sorry, but I don't know details. I imagine physics requires more precision though, and there's so many different AI techniques that it's hard to say anything conclusive about it. Also, 8.4 TFLOPS is also a pretty bad phrase to use here, because it implies that all FP operations are done at half precision. That's the only way you get 8.4 TLOPS out of it. In reality, it's going to be between 4.2 TFLOPS and 8.4 TFLOPS, and it's probably going to be much closer to 4.2 TFLOPS than 8.4 TFLOPS. And since it's probably never going to be fully utilized (I don't think any system is, unless I'm wrong of course), it's going to be even less. I'm pretty sure we're talking about theoretical maximums here anyway.
