Memory-Efficient Integer-Only Training of Deep Neural Networks

arXiv:2610.16298v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training neural networks in reduced precision can yield significant efficiency gains, yet all existing methods that scale to standard computer vision benchmarks retain floating-point in at least one stage, typically the weight update or optimizer state. We present a training algorithm that scales to modern deep neural networks, in which every tensor (weights, gradients, and activations) is stored as INT8, and every operation (forward pass, backward pass, weight update, optimizer update) is performed in integer arithmetic. Specifically, tensors ar
