float16 is a 16-bit float type that conforms to the IEE 754 standard.
Common computer languages are not supported. So, you need to find a SW library or build your own. The UAVCAN library has functions to convert float32 and float16.
After searching, it seems that NVIDIA GPU directly supports it as hardware.
