Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpu: Add AVX512_FP16 cpu feature
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2020 06:40:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201216224002.32677-1-cathy.zhang@intel.com> (raw)

AVX512 Half-precision floating point (FP16) has better performance
compared to FP32 if the presicion or magnitude requirements are met.
It's defined as CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX[bit 23].
