 \n\nTitle:  Mixed-precision algorithms: from ML to HPC\n\nAbstract:\n\nIEE
 E 754 standard for floating-point precisions has served the scientific com
 puting community for decades. The advent of deep learning marked the race 
 to the bottom for the forever smaller bit representations that could still
  be successfully used in training of neural networks of increasing size an
 d complexity. Yet shorter bit representations are applied for inference ta
 sks that\, unlike training\, come at the speed of internet search queries.
  This first expanded and subsequently fractured the landscape of floating-
 point representations\, reinvigorated the hardware startup scene\, and app
 lied pressure on the community to develop new mixed precision algorithms a
 nd their analysis methods. In this talk\, I will focus on my contributions
  to the algorithmic side of this burgeoning new field. I will cover a rang
 e of numerical methods\, their convergence properties\, and performance co
 nsiderations when applied to HPC benchmarking.\n\n
