Yossi, do you think there's a market for special matrix mult machines that use low-precision FP, maybe as a systolic array?


This is OT, but - most of linear algebra dies quickly even in single precision, meaning that your equation system solver produces a solution that doesn't really solve these equations, etc. One exception is neural networks where Google's TPU is just the start and in general GPUs while beating CPUs leave a lot of room for improvement.
