python3-gfloat

Python module of generic floating point encode/decode logic

Description

An implementation of generic floating point encode/decode logic, handling various current and proposed floating point types:

  - IEEE 754: Binary16, Binary32
  - OCP Float8: E5M2, E4M3
  - IEEE WG P3109: P{p} for p in 1..7
  - OCP MX Formats: E2M1, M2M3, E3M2, E8M0, INT8, and the MX block formats.

The library favours readability and extensibility over speed - for fast implementations of these datatypes see, for example, ml_dtypes, bitstring, MX PyTorch Emulation Library.
