Imported from GitHub PR openxla/xla#21380 Previous PR openxla/xla#19096 was rolled back, re-trying. This PR adds F4E2M1FN primitive type (4-bit float with 2 bits exponent and 1 bit mantissa), F8E8M0FNU primitive type (8-bit float with 8 bits exponent, no mantissa and no sign) and enables loads/stores in the same way S4/U4 type is implemented. This will enable using microscaling (MX) formats ([RFC](openxla/xla#18085)), such as MXFP4. ```c F4E2M1FN - Exponent bias: 1 - Maximum stored exponent value: 3 (binary 11) - Maximum unbiased exponent value: 3 - 1 = 2 - Minimum stored exponent value: 1 (binary 01) - Minimum unbiased exponent value: 1 − 1 = 0 - Has Positive and Negative zero - Doesn't have infinity - Doesn't have NaNs Additional details: - Zeros (+/-): S.00.0 - Max normal number: S.11.1 = ±2^(2) x (1 + 0.5) = ±6.0 - Min normal number: S.01.0 = ±2^(0) = ±1.0 - Min subnormal number: S.00.1 = ±2^(0) x 0.5 = ±0.5 F8E8M0FNU - Exponent bias: 127 - Maximum stored exponent value: 254 (binary 1111'1110) - Maximum unbiased exponent value: 254 - 127 = 127 - Minimum stored exponent value: 0 (binary 0000'0000) - Minimum unbiased exponent value: 0 − 127 = -127 - Doesn't have zero - Doesn't have infinity - NaN is encoded as binary 1111'1111 Additional details: - Zeros cannot be represented - Negative values cannot be represented - Mantissa is always 1 ``` Related PRs: - openxla/stablehlo#2582 - jax-ml/ml_dtypes#181 - llvm/llvm-project#95392 - llvm/llvm-project#108877 - jax-ml/ml_dtypes#166 - llvm/llvm-project#107127 - llvm/llvm-project#111028 Copybara import of the project: -- d7e00c49a4b4f26c06266d6bb941275e67464c01 by Sergey Kozub <skozub@nvidia.com>: Add F4E2M1FN and F8E8M0FNU types Merging this change closes #21380 PiperOrigin-RevId: 715434229
