Are you an ambitious researcher who enjoys working at the interplay between computer architecture and numerical software? Do you have experience in developing numerical software libraries or hardware units? Are you passionate about developing tools that can help us understand, document, compare, and standardise numerical behaviour of high-performance computers?
An EPSRC-funded project ‘Informing Future Numerical Standards by Determining Features of Non-Standard Mathematical Hardware’ is a 3-year project that aims to develop tools to improve our understanding of several numerical features of the numerical hardware present in datacentre GPUs and domain-specific machine learning accelerators. The main goal is to improve the existent almost entirely manual methods by focusing on three core aspects: automating, removing the need for specialized in-depth knowledge of mathematics of floating-point arithmetic, and informing the public about the features of the current hardware.
