Terminology
Float model / floating-point model
The floating-point models that meet quantized awareness training requirements.
Calibration
The process of obtaining quantitative parameters using calibration data.
Calibration model
Pseudo-quantized model obtained after Calibration.
QAT / quantized awareness training
Training for quantized awareness.
QAT model
Pseudo-quantized models obtained after quantized awareness training.
Pseudo-quantization
The process of first quantizing and then dequantizing floating-point data which is generally implemented in network models through pseudo-quantized nodes.
Pseudo-quantized model
Models with pseudo-quantized nodes which are typically obtained by Calibration or QAT.
Quantized model / fixed-point model / quantized model
Convert the floating-point parameters in a pseudo-quantized model to fixed-point parameters through parameter transformations, and convert the floating-point operators to fixed-point operators, the transformed model is called a Quantized model or fixed-point model or quantized model.
Hbir model
Models exported for deployment, typically exported from a QAT model, can be used for accuracy simulation and compilation on boards.
Nash
Name of the BPU architecture.
J6
Name of the processor.
