Support F16? #49

Closed Nielsbishere closed 1 year ago

Nielsbishere commented 2 years ago

Halfs are really nice on the GPU. We might want to have a type that:

[ ] Defaults to F64 if available otherwise F32
[ ] Defaults to F16 if available otherwise F32.

F16 can be supported on CPU too; but needs manual implementation which is SLOW.

Implemented. F16C is apparently slow. So defaulting to software fallback.
