half-precision for PINNs

Question

Hi, I was wondering if using half/single precision could be an issue in calculations for physically informed networks. It was mentioned just now that it is not an issue in most applications. Is it an issue in this type of applications in particular?

Answer 1

It depends.

The physically informed part could be damage by the half-precision but this could be irrelevant since we use a NN that doesn't care.

In all case, we can fix which part of our PINNs is using half precision, so it's not an true issue.
