Banu Nagasundaram offers an overview of Intel’s Deep Learning Boost (Intel DL Boost) technology, featuring integer vector neural network instructions targeting future Intel Xeon scalable processors. These instructions improve throughput of multiply-add operations with int8 and int16 data types and are used to achieve performance gains in low-precision convolution and matrix-matrix multiplication operations used in deep neural networks. Banu walks you through the 8-bit integer convolution implementation made in the Intel MKL-DNN library to demonstrate how this new instruction is used in optimized code.
