Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Imported from GitHub PR openxla/xla#16585

This PR adds f8E4M3 and f8E3M4 types support to XLA (mainly to cpu_compiler).

### `f8E4M3` type follows IEEE 754 convention.

```c
f8E4M3 (IEEE 754)
- Exponent bias: 7
- Maximum stored exponent value: 14 (binary 1110)
- Maximum unbiased exponent value: 14 - 7 = 7
- Minimum stored exponent value: 1 (binary 0001)
- Minimum unbiased exponent value: 1 − 7 = −6
- Precision specifies the total number of bits used for the significand (mantisa),
    including implicit leading integer bit = 3 + 1 = 4
- Follows IEEE 754 conventions for representation of special values
- Has Positive and Negative zero
- Has Positive and Negative infinity
- Has NaNs

Additional details:
- Max exp (unbiased): 7
- Min exp (unbiased): -6
- Infinities (+/-): S.1111.000
- Zeros (+/-): S.0000.000
- NaNs: S.1111.{001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111}
- Max normal number: S.1110.111 = +/-2^(7) x (1 + 0.875) = +/-240
- Min normal number: S.0001.000 = +/-2^(-6)
- Max subnormal number: S.0000.111 = +/-2^(-6) x 0.875 = +/-2^(-9) x 7
- Min subnormal number: S.0000.001 = +/-2^(-6) x 0.125 = +/-2^(-9)
```

### `f8E3M4` type  follows IEEE 754 convention

```c
f8E3M4 (IEEE 754)
- Exponent bias: 3
- Maximum stored exponent value: 6 (binary 110)
- Maximum unbiased exponent value: 6 - 3 = 3
- Minimum stored exponent value: 1 (binary 001)
- Minimum unbiased exponent value: 1 − 3 = −2
- Precision specifies the total number of bits used for the significand (mantissa),
    including implicit leading integer bit = 4 + 1 = 5
- Follows IEEE 754 conventions for representation of special values
- Has Positive and Negative zero
- Has Positive and Negative infinity
- Has NaNs

Additional details:
- Max exp (unbiased): 3
- Min exp (unbiased): -2
- Infinities (+/-): S.111.0000
- Zeros (+/-): S.000.0000
- NaNs: S.111.{0,1}⁴ except S.111.0000
- Max normal number: S.110.1111 = +/-2^(6-3) x (1 + 15/16) = +/-2^3 x 31 x 2^(-4) = +/-15.5
- Min normal number: S.001.0000 = +/-2^(1-3) x (1 + 0) = +/-2^(-2)
- Max subnormal number: S.000.1111 = +/-2^(-2) x 15/16 = +/-2^(-2) x 15 x 2^(-4) = +/-15 x 2^(-6)
- Min subnormal number: S.000.0001 = +/-2^(-2) x 1/16 =  +/-2^(-2) x 2^(-4) = +/-2^(-6)
