AVX-512 BF16: lower-precision bfloat16 floating-point numbers for generally faster computation. Operations provided include conversion to/from float32 and dot product.
DL Boost features were introduced in the Cascade Lake architecture.
A TensorFlow-based benchmark run on the Google Cloud PlatformCompute Engine shows improved performance and reduced cost compared to previous CPUs and to GPUs, especially for small batch sizes.[2]
