To address the aforementioned FP8 quantization issues, we introduced Dynamic Outlier Isolation Scale ($DOIS$ ) search, a search strategy that concentrates the FP8 weight mapping range into a high-precision region by isolating outliers. Quantizing activations is generally more difficult than quantizing weights, so we prioritize optimizing FP8 activations. DOIS uses the original FP8 outlier values as the upper limit of FP8 precision expression, calculating a new scale that compresses the value distribution into a high-precision distribution range, resulting in better precision expression of quantized activation values.
