[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/ml_dtypes.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/ml_dtypes)
|
|
|
|
`ml_dtypes` is a stand-alone implementation of several NumPy dtype extensions used in machine learning libraries, including:
|
|
|
|
- [`bfloat16`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bfloat16_floating-point_format):
|
|
an alternative to the standard [`float16`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating-point_format) format
|
|
- `float8_*`: several experimental 8-bit floating point representations
|
|
including:
|
|
* `float8_e4m3b11fnuz`
|
|
* `float8_e4m3fn`
|
|
* `float8_e4m3fnuz`
|
|
* `float8_e5m2`
|
|
* `float8_e5m2fnuz`
|
|
- `int4` and `uint4`: low precision integer types.
|
|
|
|
See below for specifications of these number formats.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
The `ml_dtypes` package is tested with Python versions 3.9-3.12, and can be installed
|
|
with the following command:
|
|
```
|
|
pip install ml_dtypes
|
|
```
|
|
To test your installation, you can run the following:
|
|
```
|
|
pip install absl-py pytest
|
|
pytest --pyargs ml_dtypes
|
|
```
|
|
To build from source, clone the repository and run:
|
|
```
|
|
git submodule init
|
|
git submodule update
|
|
pip install .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example Usage
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> from ml_dtypes import bfloat16
|
|
>>> import numpy as np
|
|
>>> np.zeros(4, dtype=bfloat16)
|
|
array([0, 0, 0, 0], dtype=bfloat16)
|
|
```
|
|
Importing `ml_dtypes` also registers the data types with numpy, so that they may
|
|
be referred to by their string name:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> np.dtype('bfloat16')
|
|
dtype(bfloat16)
|
|
>>> np.dtype('float8_e5m2')
|
|
dtype(float8_e5m2)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Specifications of implemented floating point formats
|
|
|
|
### `bfloat16`
|
|
|
|
A `bfloat16` number is a single-precision float truncated at 16 bits.
|
|
|
|
Exponent: 8, Mantissa: 7, exponent bias: 127. IEEE 754, with NaN and inf.
|
|
|
|
### `float8_e4m3b11fnuz`
|
|
|
|
Exponent: 4, Mantissa: 3, bias: 11.
|
|
|
|
Extended range: no inf, NaN represented by 0b1000'0000.
|
|
|
|
### `float8_e4m3fn`
|
|
|
|
Exponent: 4, Mantissa: 3, bias: 7.
|
|
|
|
Extended range: no inf, NaN represented by 0bS111'1111.
|
|
|
|
The `fn` suffix is for consistency with the corresponding LLVM/MLIR type, signaling this type is not consistent with IEEE-754. The `f` indicates it is finite values only. The `n` indicates it includes NaNs, but only at the outer range.
|
|
|
|
### `float8_e4m3fnuz`
|
|
|
|
8-bit floating point with 3 bit mantissa.
|
|
|
|
An 8-bit floating point type with 1 sign bit, 4 bits exponent and 3 bits mantissa. The suffix `fnuz` is consistent with LLVM/MLIR naming and is derived from the differences to IEEE floating point conventions. `F` is for "finite" (no infinities), `N` for with special NaN encoding, `UZ` for unsigned zero.
|
|
|
|
This type has the following characteristics:
|
|
* bit encoding: S1E4M3 - `0bSEEEEMMM`
|
|
* exponent bias: 8
|
|
* infinities: Not supported
|
|
* NaNs: Supported with sign bit set to 1, exponent bits and mantissa bits set to all 0s - `0b10000000`
|
|
* denormals when exponent is 0
|
|
|
|
### `float8_e5m2`
|
|
|
|
Exponent: 5, Mantissa: 2, bias: 15. IEEE 754, with NaN and inf.
|
|
|
|
### `float8_e5m2fnuz`
|
|
|
|
8-bit floating point with 2 bit mantissa.
|
|
|
|
An 8-bit floating point type with 1 sign bit, 5 bits exponent and 2 bits mantissa. The suffix `fnuz` is consistent with LLVM/MLIR naming and is derived from the differences to IEEE floating point conventions. `F` is for "finite" (no infinities), `N` for with special NaN encoding, `UZ` for unsigned zero.
|
|
|
|
This type has the following characteristics:
|
|
* bit encoding: S1E5M2 - `0bSEEEEEMM`
|
|
* exponent bias: 16
|
|
* infinities: Not supported
|
|
* NaNs: Supported with sign bit set to 1, exponent bits and mantissa bits set to all 0s - `0b10000000`
|
|
* denormals when exponent is 0
|
|
|
|
## `int4` and `uint4`
|
|
|
|
4-bit integer types, where each element is represented unpacked (i.e., padded up
|
|
to a byte in memory).
|
|
|
|
NumPy does not support types smaller than a single byte. For example, the
|
|
distance between adjacent elements in an array (`.strides`) is expressed in
|
|
bytes. Relaxing this restriction would be a considerable engineering project.
|
|
The `int4` and `uint4` types therefore use an unpacked representation, where
|
|
each element of the array is padded up to a byte in memory. The lower four bits
|
|
of each byte contain the representation of the number, whereas the upper four
|
|
bits are ignored.
|
|
|
|
## Quirks of low-precision Arithmetic
|
|
|
|
If you're exploring the use of low-precision dtypes in your code, you should be
|
|
careful to anticipate when the precision loss might lead to surprising results.
|
|
One example is the behavior of aggregations like `sum`; consider this `bfloat16`
|
|
summation in NumPy (run with version 1.24.2):
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> from ml_dtypes import bfloat16
|
|
>>> import numpy as np
|
|
>>> rng = np.random.default_rng(seed=0)
|
|
>>> vals = rng.uniform(size=10000).astype(bfloat16)
|
|
>>> vals.sum()
|
|
256
|
|
```
|
|
The true sum should be close to 5000, but numpy returns exactly 256: this is
|
|
because `bfloat16` does not have the precision to increment `256` by values less than
|
|
`1`:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> bfloat16(256) + bfloat16(1)
|
|
256
|
|
```
|
|
After 256, the next representable value in bfloat16 is 258:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> np.nextafter(bfloat16(256), bfloat16(np.inf))
|
|
258
|
|
```
|
|
For better results you can specify that the accumulation should happen in a
|
|
higher-precision type like `float32`:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> vals.sum(dtype='float32').astype(bfloat16)
|
|
4992
|
|
```
|
|
In contrast to NumPy, projects like [JAX](http://jax.readthedocs.io/) which support
|
|
low-precision arithmetic more natively will often do these kinds of higher-precision
|
|
accumulations automatically:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> import jax.numpy as jnp
|
|
>>> jnp.array(vals).sum()
|
|
Array(4992, dtype=bfloat16)
|
|
```
