Abstract
A system for training a neural network receives training data and performing lower precision format training calculations using lower precision format data at one or more training phases. One or more results from the lower precision format training calculations are converted to higher precision format data, and higher precision format training calculations are performed using the higher precision format data at one or more additional training phases. The neural network is modified using the results from the one or more additional training phases. The mixed precision format training calculations train the neural network more efficiently, while maintaining an overall accuracy.
