FP64 Performance and the Limits of Ozaki Emulation on HPC Systems

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence is altering accelerator designs, shifting silicon prioritisation towards lower-precision formats such as FP8 and BF16 for inference and training. This transition creates operational trade-offs for legacy scientific workloads that still require double-precision FP64 capabilities. In response, high-performance computing specialists are assessing the viability and limits of Ozaki emulation methods on modern hardware.
