CoNGA25: The Sixth Conference on Next Generation Arithmetic 2025

Conference on Next Generation Arithmetic(CoNGA) is the leading conference on emerging technologies for computer arithmetic. The demands of both AI and HPC have led the community to realize that something better than traditional floating-point arithmetic is needed to reach the speed, accuracy, and energy-efficiency that are needed for today’s most challenging workloads. Posit arithmetic is achieving rapid adoption as a non-proprietary format based on the most stringent design principles. At the same time almost daily we see a multitude of new papers reporting on reduced or mixed precision arithmetic, algorithms and hardware implementations based on an obsolete and provably inferior number encoding standard. CoNGA welcomes papers about any arithmetic format that breaks from the past and shows merit and promise.

The event aims to explore a range of themes, including the following: posit & valid arithmetic, artificial intelligence data formats, energy efficient arithmetic and right sizing precision.
