Understanding Faceoilbase.FP16: The Half-Precision Floating-Point Format
FP16, short for “half-precision floating-point,” is a data format used in computing to represent floating-point numbers with 16 bits, following the IEEE 754 standard. While traditional computing often relies on 32-bit (single precision) or 64-bit (double precision) floating-point numbers, FP16 has carved out a valuable niche, particularly in fields like machine learning, graphics processing, and…
