    "Most deep learning frameworks, including **PyTorch** & **Tensorflow**, train with 32-bit floating point (FP32) arithmetic by default. However this is not essential to achieve full accuracy for many deep learning models. NVIDIA researchers developed a methodology for mixed-precision training, which combined single-precision (FP32) with half-precision (e.g. FP16) format when training a network, and achieved the same accuracy as FP32 training using the same hyperparameters, with additional performance benefits on NVIDIA GPUs:\r\n",

    "Among NVIDIA GPUs, those with compute capability 7.0 or higher will see the greatest performance benefit from mixed precision because they have special hardware units, called Tensor Cores, to accelerate float16 matrix multiplications and convolutions. Older GPUs offer no math performance benefit for using mixed precision, however memory and bandwidth savings can enable some speedups. You can look up the compute capability for your GPU at NVIDIA's CUDA GPU web page. Examples of GPUs that will benefit most from mixed precision include RTX GPUs, the V100, and the A100."

    "If the forward pass for a particular op has float16 inputs, the backward pass for that op will produce float16 gradients. Gradient values with small magnitudes may not be representable in float16. These values will flush to zero (“underflow”), so the update for the corresponding parameters will be lost.\r\n",
    "\r\n",
    "To prevent underflow, “gradient scaling” multiplies the network’s loss(es) by a scale factor and invokes a backward pass on the scaled loss(es). Gradients flowing backward through the network are then scaled by the same factor. In other words, gradient values have a larger magnitude, so they don’t flush to zero.\r\n",

    "  - after computing grads, we rescale the gradients with divide by that number to bring them back to their correct values\r\n",
