Probably these two branches for the kernel argument can be replaced by:
std::string abdtype = (sdtype=="half")?"float":sdtype

Yes, will modified with your suggestion

Why couldn't we keep a union here? Using a struct instead will multiply the size of the class by 4, which will increase the (already high) overhead associated with expression trees construction and parsing

This is because of the introducing of class half, use struct can avoid compiling error.

Wouldn't it work to just keep a macro here (if the union is not changed to a struct), even for the half-type?

Current code has to use struct mentioned above, so comment out the macro here.

Again, I would prefer a single declaration of:
numeric_type abtype = (dtype==HALF_TYPE)?:FLOAT_TYPE:dtype;
over all these branches :)

Will follow your suggestion and modified them, thx

To be honest, I don't understand the purpose of this class, as opposed to some uint16_t, since cl_mem is blind to the underlying datatype anyway.

This class is to add the data type of half and not just the type define of uint16_t. With the help of this class, we can let the code see "half" in the process without compiling errors.

Have refined the code to remove half on value scalar, please have a check, thank you! |
|
That looks good to me! Feel free to submit a PR in isaac's dev repository :) |

@ptillet will submit to your repo soon. @listenlink Thanks for your contribution. |

Hi @gongzg .
This patch implement the fp16 functionality, kernel function/ blas api/ tuning mechanism are all included.
Then can pass all of our clBLAS half test suite.
While I don't add the intelblas_gemm half version currently, because our intel_gemm implementation are still under review at upstream, this PR can be a clean and independent patch for upstream to merge.
