AI’s Math Tricks Don’t Work for Scientific Computing
Low-precision number formats used by AI are not suitable for many scientific computing simulations, according to Laslo Hunhold, who has developed a specialized number format for scientific computing. Dina Genkina, the computing and hardware editor at IEEE Spectrum, highlights the limitations of AI's math tricks in this area. Hunhold's work aims to address the specific needs of scientific computing, offering a more tailored approach to numerical precision.
