This diff adds APFloat support for a semantic that matches the TF32 data type used by some accelerators (most notably GPUs from both NVIDIA and AMD). For more information on the TF32 data type, see https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2020/05/14/tensorfloat-32-precision-format/. Some intrinsics that support the TF32 data type were added in https://reviews.llvm.org/D122044. For some discussion on supporting common semantics in `APFloat`, see similar efforts for 8-bit formats at https://reviews.llvm.org/D146441, as well as https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-adding-the-amd-graphcore-maybe-others-float8-formats-to-apfloat/67969. A subsequent diff will extend MLIR to use this data type. (Those changes are not part of this diff to simplify the review process.)

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // C Language Family Front-end //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// Welcome to Clang. This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project. Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer. If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant web sites. Here are some pointers: Information on Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/ Building and using Clang: http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html Clang Static Analyzer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/ Information on the LLVM project: http://llvm.org/ If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is on the Clang forums: https://discourse.llvm.org/c/clang/ If you find a bug in Clang, please file it in the LLVM bug tracker: http://llvm.org/bugs/
