Introduction BFloat16 is a 16-bit floating-point format, introduced by Google and standardized in C++23 as std::bfloat16_t. It uses 1 sign bit, 8 exponent bits (the same as float), and 7 mantissa bits.| The LLVM Project Blog
With the increasing importance of GPU computing, having a robust and familiar C standard library becomes a valuable asset for developers. The LLVM project is actively working to provide this foundation, as a solid libc implementation enables more complex libraries to be developed for and used on GPUs.| The LLVM Project Blog
