Adding support for 16-bit floating point and Complex number datatypes to HDF5

  • 1. ROR icon The HDF Group

Description

There has long been interest in having first-class support for half-precision floating-point and complex number
datatypes in HDF5 to better facilitate applications that work with these types of data. This RFC discusses
adding support for these datatypes, as well as a few other convenient datatypes, to the HDF5 library.
