Description

Hello, I have a query regarding the data formats supported by the nvcomp library. While reviewing the documentation, I noticed that all compression algorithms are listed as supporting strings and integers, but there is no mention of support for float16 (__half) data type. I am interested in utilizing the nvcomp library for float16 data. Could you kindly recommend a suitable algorithm for this purpose?
