The new Half type is composed of 16 bits and will be geared towards speeding up machine learning workflows by enabling faster computation and smaller storage requirements at the expense of precision.

Native Floating-Point HDL code generation allows you to generate VHDL or Verilog for floating-point implementation in hardware without the effort of fixed-point conversion. Native Floating-Point HDL ...

Many numerical applications typically use floating-point types to compute values. However, in some platforms, a floating-point unit may not be available. Other platforms may have a floating-point unit ...

Why floating point is important for developing machine-learning models. What floating-point formats are used with machine learning? Over the last two decades, compute-intensive artificial-intelligence ...

AI is all about data, and the representation of the data matters strongly. But after focusing primarily on 8-bit integers and 32‑bit floating-point numbers, the industry is now looking at new formats.

Infinite impulse response (IIR) filter implementations can have different forms (direct, standard, ladder, …), different math (fixed-point or floating-point), and different quantization (number of ...
