The Fourier domain acceleration search (FDAS) is an effective technique for detecting faint binary pulsars in large radio astronomy data sets. This paper quantifies the sensitivity impact of reducing numerical precision in the graphics processing uni... Read More about Bits Missing: Finding Exotic Pulsars Using bfloat16 on NVIDIA GPUs.
