Abstract

Finite-precision programs, prevalent in embedded systems, scientific computing, and machine learning, inherently introduce numerical uncertainties stemming from noises in the inputs and finite-precision errors. Furthermore, implementing these programs on hardware necessitates a trade-off between accuracy and efficiency. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that numerical uncertainties remain acceptably small and to optimize implementations for accurate results tailored to specific applications. Existing analysis and optimization techniques for finite-precision programs face challenges in scalability and applicability to real-world scenarios. In this work, we expand the individual capabilities of these techniques by capturing the impact of uncertain inputs on discrete decisions and roundoff errors, by scaling floating-point verification for larger programs, and by specializing optimization for feed-forward deep neural networks.
