This is a C++ header-only library to provide an IEEE-754 conformant half-precision floating point type along with corresponding arithmetic operators, type conversions and common mathematical functions. It aims for both efficiency and ease of use, trying to accurately mimic the behaviour of the builtin floating point types at the best performance possible. It automatically uses and provides C++11 features when possible, but stays completely C++98-compatible when neccessary.

Features

  • Easy to use half-precision floating point type
  • IEEE 754 conformant data representation
  • All arithmetic operators and mathematical functions
  • Integrating well with existing floating point types
  • Fully C++98-compatible, while supporting C++11 features
  • Single header file simple to include, no building required
