DL Boost (deep learning boost) is a marketing term used by Intel that encompasses a number of x86 technologies designed to accelerate AI workloads.
Overview
DL Boost is a term used by Intel to describe a set of features on their microprocessors designed to accelerate AI workloads. The term was first introduced with Cascade Lake. DL Boost includes the following features:
- AVX-512 Vector Neural Network Instructions (AVX512VNNI), first introduced with Cascade Lake (server) and Ice Lake (Client)
- Brain floating-point format (bfloat16), first introduced with Cooper Lake and Ice Lake (Client)
