Abstract
Techniques for neural network processing using mixed-precision data representation are disclosed. Access to a processor that supports single-precision operations is obtained, where the processor is used for neural network calculations. A first input data element and a second input data element are presented for manipulation on the processor, where the manipulation supports the neural network calculations. The first input data element is manipulated with the second input data element using the processor, where the first input data element comprises a 16-bit reduced floating point representation. A result of the manipulation is output, where the result comprises a single-precision data representation element. The result is forwarded to a next layer of the neural network, based on the outputting.
