Detailed Description

Class that provides a type that implements half precision floating point using the bfloat16 format.

This type is enforced to be 16-bits wide and maintains no state other than the raw bits so that it can passed to code that checks a type's size and used for halide_buffer_t allocation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ bfloat16_t() [1/4]

Halide::bfloat16_t::bfloat16_t ( float value )

explicit

Construct from a float, double, or int using round-to-nearest-ties-to-even.

Out-of-range values become +/- infinity.

◆ bfloat16_t() [2/4]

Halide::bfloat16_t::bfloat16_t ( double value )

explicit

Construct from a float, double, or int using round-to-nearest-ties-to-even.

Out-of-range values become +/- infinity.

◆ bfloat16_t() [3/4]

Halide::bfloat16_t::bfloat16_t ( int value )

explicit

Construct from a float, double, or int using round-to-nearest-ties-to-even.

Out-of-range values become +/- infinity.

◆ bfloat16_t() [4/4]

Halide::bfloat16_t::bfloat16_t ( )

default

Construct a bfloat16_t with the bits initialised to 0.

This represents positive zero.
