Memory Savings by Component

Parameters (Weights)

Before (FP32):  ████████████████████████████████████  700 MB
After (INT8):   █████████                              175 MB
                                                       ↑
                                                  525 MB saved (75%)

Why 75%?

  • FP32: 4 bytes per parameter
  • INT8: 1 byte per parameter
  • Compression ratio: 4:1 = 75% reduction

Activations (Intermediate Tensors)

Before (FP32):  ████████████████████  400 MB
After (INT8):   ██████████████████    350 MB
                                      ↑
                                  50 MB saved (12.5%)

Why only 12.5%?

  • Activations remain mostly FP32 for numerical stability
  • Critical for maintaining model accuracy
  • Future optimization: Activation quantization (Wave 13+)

Optimizer (Adam States)

Before (FP32):  ██████████████████████████████████████████  900 MB
After (INT8):   ███████████                                  225 MB
                                                             ↑
                                                        675 MB saved (75%)

Why 75%?

  • Adam optimizer: 2x parameter count (momentum + variance)
  • INT8 parameters → INT8 optimizer states
  • Same compression ratio as parameters
