Hi all,
I want to use half-precision arithmetic on Raspberry pi 3. I installed clang compiler to use _Float16 data type (which is for 16-bit arithmetic purpose).
I was wondering is there any library for half-precision mathematic functions? (like <quadmath.h> for quadruple-precision numbers)
according to my research when ARMv8.2-FP16 is implemented, ARMV8 (Cortex-A53) supports half-precision data type for data processing in hardware. Am I right?
According the TRM CA53 supports only conversion:
[23:20] SIMDHP Indicates whether the Advanced SIMD and Floating-point extension supports half-precision floating-point conversion operations:0x1 Implemented.
