...Plus, an 8-bit model also has a 4x smaller memory footprint relative to a 32-bit model. However, often when quantizing a machine learning model (e.g., from 32-bit floating point to an 8-bit fixed point value), the model accuracy is sacrificed.

Transformer Engine (TE) is a library for accelerating Transformer models on NVIDIA GPUs, including using 8-bit floating point (FP8) precision on Hopper GPUs, to provide better performance with lower memory utilization in both training and inference. TE provides a collection of highly optimized building blocks for popular Transformer architectures and an automatic mixed precision-like API that can be used seamlessly with your framework-specific code. TE also includes a framework-agnostic C++ API that can be integrated with other deep-learning libraries to enable FP8 support for Transformers. ...

...Smooth and enjoyable training procedure: we save the state of model, optimizer, scheduler, training iter, you can stop your training and resume training exactly from the save point without change your training CMD.
