HierCut: Enabling 16-bit Format Mixed Precision for Molecular Dynamics through Hierarchical Cutoff
Abstract
Mixed-precision methods offer the potential to achieve better performance while maintaining accuracy comparable to that of high-precision formats. However, the adoption of mixed precision—particularly with 16-bit formats—in scientific computing remains limited due to precision truncation.
