Wave 9.6: Quantizer U8 Dtype - Quick Reference

Status: ✅ COMPLETE Tests: 18/18 passing (100%) Memory Reduction: 4x (F32 → U8)

What Changed

Before (Simulation)

// Kept F32 dtype, only simulated quantization
let scaled = tensor.to_dtype(DType::F32)?;
// Comment: "In production, would convert to int8 here"

After (Actual U8)

// Actually converts to U8 dtype (1 byte per element)
let u8_data = clamped.to_dtype(DType::U8)?;

Key Fixes

U8 Conversion: Added actual dtype conversion (not simulation)
Symmetric Quantization: Fixed zero_point = 127 (was 0)
Dequantization: Added U8 → F32 conversion before arithmetic
Memory Size: memory_bytes() now returns actual U8 size

Test Commands

# Run U8 dtype tests (15 tests)
cargo test -p ml --test quantizer_u8_dtype_test

# Run lib tests (3 tests)
cargo test -p ml --lib quantization

# Run all tests (18 tests)
cargo test -p ml --test quantizer_u8_dtype_test && cargo test -p ml --lib quantization

Quantization Formula

Symmetric (default)

scale = abs_max / 127.0
zero_point = 127  // Center of U8 range [0, 255]
q = clamp(round((x / scale) + 127), 0, 255)
x = scale * (q - 127)

Asymmetric

scale = (max - min) / 255.0
zero_point = round(-min / scale)
q = clamp(round((x / scale) + zero_point), 0, 255)
x = scale * (q - zero_point)

Memory Savings

Tensor Size	F32 Size	U8 Size	Savings
100 × 100	40 KB	10 KB	30 KB (75%)
1000 × 1000	4 MB	1 MB	3 MB (75%)
10M params	40 MB	10 MB	30 MB (75%)

Formula: u8_size = f32_size / 4

Critical Notes

Symmetric quantization: zero_point = 127 (NOT 0)
Memory calculation: elem_count * 1 byte (NOT 4)
Dequantization: Must convert U8 → F32 before arithmetic
Accuracy loss: <0.5 per element (acceptable for ML weights)
