Computing power can be divided into three types: general computing power, supercomputing power, and intelligent computing power, each applied in different scenarios. General computing power mainly comes from general-purpose processors (CPUs) and has a wide range of applications, suitable for digital scenarios where precision requirements are not high. Supercomputing power primarily supports high-precision scientific research fields such as astrophysics, meteorological studies, and aerospace. These scenarios require a large amount of computation and high precision (double-precision computing power). Intelligent computing power is mainly used in AI scenarios. For AI model training and inference, there is a significant demand for processing text, speech, images, or video, where single-precision, half-precision, or even integer computations can meet application needs. Generally speaking, compared to model training, the precision required for model inference is lower, and in many scenarios, Int8 is sufficient.
