Hi @nicolas.granger ,
There are some technical limitations associated with it.
Bitwise operations on integers are less frequently used in deep learning inference tasks, where operations like matrix multiplications and convolutions are prioritized. Therefore, the developers may focus on optimizing these more commonly used operations for better performance.
Implementing bitwise operators for integer types may require additional hardware support or specific instructions that may not be efficiently supported on NVIDIA GPUs used for deep learning inference. This could lead to suboptimal performance or compatibility issues.
Hope this helps
