2.6. __nv_fp8x4_e5m2 Struct Reference

[C++ struct for handling vector type of four fp8 values of e5m2 kind.]

This structure implements the datatype for handling four fp8 floating-point numbers of e5m2 kind each: with 1 sign, 5 exponent, 1 implicit and 2 explicit mantissa bits.

The structure implements converting constructors and operators.
