Float16


  • Advantage: Reduced memory usage, allowing for more data to be processed concurrently.

  • Advantage: Faster computation speeds, as Float16 operations can be executed more quickly on compatible hardware.

  • Advantage: Suitable for deep learning applications where precision can be sacrificed for performance.

  • Disadvantage: Limited precision, which can lead to numerical instability and reduced accuracy in calculations.

  • Disadvantage: Not all hardware supports Float16 operations efficiently, leading to potential performance bottlenecks.

  • Disadvantage: Requires careful handling to avoid overflow and underflow issues in computations.
