Add support asymmetric fake-quantization to AQTv2.
Integration of native quantization with biases will require computing the cross terms. See #725
Itemized changes:
IntAsymmetric
to handle asymmetric integer numerics.IntSymmetric
.MinMaxCalibration
to calculate the scale and bias for asymmetric quantization.I additionally tested this change by training MNIST models using
flax_e2e_model
. With symmetric quantization the model fails to converge forconfig.config_v4(fwd_bits=2, dlhs_bits=None, drhs_bits=None)
(due toNaN
losses). With asymmetric quantization the model converges even withconfig.config_v4(fwd_bits=2, dlhs_bits=2, drhs_bits=4)
