  2. …just above 4x improvement without "using unreleased libraries from NVIDIA". From the same thread: https://github.com/tensorflow/benchmarks/issues/77#issuecomm... In my experience NVidia benchmark numbers in deep learning are rarely lies -…

  3. …from right after Nvidia announced an 8x improvement in speed on imagenet in tensorflow for V100: https://github.com/tensorflow/benchmarks/issues/77 ) In general, fp16 is only 30-40% faster than fp32, and occasionally 2x in really optimal…
