- BenoitEssiambre 6y agoI guess I just never encountered the 3,5,6,7 bytes word types.
- vardump 6y ago24-bit floats "FP24" at least have been a thing in some ATI graphics cards (R300 & R420) 15+ years ago. Some DSPs have also used (some still do?) 24-bit word width. These odd word widths are anything but common, though.
- ajtulloch 6y agoModern AMD GPUs still support 24 bit integers, see https://rocm.github.io/GCN_Float16.html https://rocm.github.io/GCN_Float16.html.
