Jeff Dean

And I thought, wow, that's a smart group of people doing something.

ANDREW BROGDONER- I think I said, you should think about b-brill next, because we're making some pretty good progress here.

FRANCESC CAMPOY- That sounds fun.

So OK, so I jumped back in to join Jeff.

That was like 2012.

I seem to join Google every 12 years.

I rejoined Google in 2000, 2012, and 2024.

ANDREW BROGDONER- What's going to happen in 2036?

It really has to be a code design thing because, you know, if...

if the algorithm designer doesn't realize that he can get

greatly improved performance, throughput with the lower precision, of course the algorithm designer is going to say, of course I don't want low precision.

That introduces risk.

And then that's irritation.

And then if you ask the chip designer, OK, what do you want to build?

And then they'll ask the person who's writing the algorithms today, who's going to say, no, I don't like quantization.

It's irritating.

So you actually need to basically see the whole picture and figure out, oh, wait a minute, we can increase our throughput to cost ratio by a lot by quantizing.

Right.

Yeah.

Like 2000, 2001.
