# Basic MNIST Example with optional FP8 of TransformerEngine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[TransformerEngine](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TransformerEngine) is a library for accelerating Transformer models on NVIDIA GPUs, including using 8-bit floating point (FP8) precision on Hopper GPUs, to provide better performance with lower memory utilization in both training and inference.

```bash
|
||
|
|
python main.py
|
||
|
|
python main.py --use-te # Linear layers from TransformerEngine
|
||
|
|
python main.py --use-fp8 # FP8 + TransformerEngine for Linear layers
|
