📊 Key Metrics

INT8 Latency (GRN Component)

Metric Value Target Status
P95 0.19ms <5ms 97% below
P50 0.15ms - Excellent
P99 0.21ms - Stable
Mean 0.16ms - Low overhead
P99/P50 1.69x <2.0 Consistent

Test Results

  • 4/7 tests passing (infrastructure validated)
  • 3/7 pending fixes (weight extraction issue)

Passing:

  1. Test 1: FP32 Baseline
  2. Test 2: INT8 <5ms (0.19ms)
  3. Test 4: Percentile Distributions (1.69x ratio)
  4. Test 7: Full TFT E2E Infrastructure

Pending (Wave 9.11):

  1. Test 3: 4x Speedup (needs actual GRN weights)
  2. Test 5: Accuracy <5% (needs actual GRN weights)
  3. Test 6: Memory 75% (calculation needs fix)

🔧 Known Issues

Issue 1: Placeholder Weights

Problem: QuantizedGatedResidualNetwork uses synthetic weights Impact: Tests 3, 5, 6 fail (accuracy/speedup/memory) Fix: Extract actual VarMap weights from GRN (Wave 9.11)

Issue 2: Dequantization Overhead

Problem: INT8 GRN slower than FP32 on CPU (2.3x, not 4x faster) Fix: Enable CUDA INT8 Tensor Cores (Wave 9.11)

Issue 3: Incomplete TFT Pipeline

Problem: Only GRN/LSTM/VSN quantized, not full TFT Fix: Quantize Attention + Quantile layers (Wave 9.11-9.12)
