//! A crate that provides support for half-precision 16-bit floating point types. //! //! This crate provides the [`f16`] type, which is an implementation of the IEEE 754-2008 standard //! [`binary16`] a.k.a `half` floating point type. This 16-bit floating point type is intended for //! efficient storage where the full range and precision of a larger floating point value is not //! required. This is especially useful for image storage formats. //! //! This crate also provides a [`bf16`] type, an alternative 16-bit floating point format. The //! [`bfloat16`] format is a truncated IEEE 754 standard `binary32` float that preserves the //! exponent to allow the same range as `f32` but with only 8 bits of precision (instead of 11 //! bits for [`f16`]). See the [`bf16`] type for details. //! //! Because [`f16`] and [`bf16`] are primarily for efficient storage, floating point operations such as //! addition, multiplication, etc. are not implemented. Operations should be performed with `f32` //! or higher-precision types and converted to/from [`f16`] or [`bf16`] as necessary. //! //! This crate also provides a [`slice`] module for zero-copy in-place conversions of `u16` slices //! to both [`f16`] and [`bf16`], as well as efficient vectorized conversions of larger buffers of //! floating point values to and from these half formats. //! //! A [`prelude`] module is provided for easy importing of available utility traits. //! //! Some hardware architectures provide support for 16-bit floating point conversions. Enable the //! `use-intrinsics` feature to use LLVM intrinsics for hardware conversions. This crate does no //! checks on whether the hardware supports the feature. This feature currently only works on //! nightly Rust due to a compiler feature gate. When this feature is enabled and the hardware //! supports it, the [`slice`] trait conversions will use vectorized SIMD intructions for //! increased efficiency. //! //! Support for [`serde`] crate `Serialize` and `Deserialize` traits is provided when the `serde` //! feature is enabled. This adds a dependency on [`serde`] crate so is an optional cargo feature. //! Support for [`bytemuck`] crate `Zeroable` and `Pod` traits is provided with the `bytemuck` //! feature. Support for the [`num-traits`] crate `ToPrimitive` and `FromPrimitive` traits is //! provided with the `num-traits` feature. //! //! The crate uses `#[no_std]` by default, so can be used in embedded environments without using the //! Rust `std` library. A `std` feature is available, which enables additional utilities using the //! `std` library, such as the [`vec`] module that provides zero-copy `Vec` conversions. The `alloc` //! feature may be used to enable the [`vec`] module without adding a dependency to the `std` //! library. //! //! [`f16`]: struct.f16.html //!
