ROCm data type specifications
*************************************************************
Integral types
==========================================
The signed and unsigned integral types that are supported by ROCm™ are listed in the following table,
together with their corresponding HIP type and a short description.
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
:widths: 15,35,50
*
- Type name
- HIP type
- Description
*
- int8
- ``int8_t``, ``uint8_t``
- A signed or unsigned 8-bit integer
*
- int16
- ``int16_t``, ``uint16_t``
- A signed or unsigned 16-bit integer
*
- int32
- ``int32_t``, ``uint32_t``
- A signed or unsigned 32-bit integer
*
- int64
- ``int64_t``, ``uint64_t``
- A signed or unsigned 64-bit integer
Floating-point types
==========================================
The floating-point types that are supported by ROCm are listed in the following table, together with
their corresponding HIP type and a short description.
.. image:: ../../data/about/compatibility/floating-point-data-types.png
:alt: Supported floating-point types
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
:widths: 15,15,70
*
- Type name
- HIP type
- Description
*
- float8 (E4M3)
- ``-``
- An 8-bit floating-point number that mostly follows IEEE-754 conventions and **S1E4M3** bit layout, as described in `8-bit Numerical Formats for Deep Neural Networks <https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.02915>`_ , with expanded range and with no infinity or signed zero. NaN is represented as negative zero.
*
- float8 (E5M2)
- ``-``
- An 8-bit floating-point number mostly following IEEE-754 conventions and **S1E5M2** bit layout, as described in `8-bit Numerical Formats for Deep Neural Networks <https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.02915>`_ , with expanded range and with no infinity or signed zero. NaN is represented as negative zero.
*
- float16
- ``half``
- A 16-bit floating-point number that conforms to the IEEE 754-2008 half-precision storage format.
*
- bfloat16
- ``bfloat16``
- A shortened 16-bit version of the IEEE 754 single-precision storage format.
*
- tensorfloat32
- ``-``
- A floating-point number that occupies 32 bits or less of storage, providing improved range compared to half (16-bit) format, at (potentially) greater throughput than single-precision (32-bit) formats.
*
- float32
- ``float``
- A 32-bit floating-point number that conforms to the IEEE 754 single-precision storage format.
*
- float64
- ``double``
- A 64-bit floating-point number that conforms to the IEEE 754 double-precision storage format.
.. note::
* The float8 and tensorfloat32 types are internal types used in calculations in Matrix Cores and can be stored in any type of the same size.
* The encodings for FP8 (E5M2) and FP8 (E4M3) that are natively supported by MI300 differ from the FP8 (E5M2) and FP8 (E4M3) encodings used in H100 (`FP8 Formats for Deep Learning <https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.05433>`_).
* In some AMD documents and articles, float8 (E5M2) is referred to as bfloat8.
ROCm support icons
==========================================
In the following sections, we use icons to represent the level of support. These icons, described in the
following table, are also used on the library data type support pages.
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
*
- Icon
- Definition
*
-
- Not supported
*
- ⚠️
- Partial support
*
-
- Full support
.. note::
* Full support means that the type is supported natively or with hardware emulation.
* Native support means that the operations for that type are implemented in hardware. Types that are not natively supported are emulated with the available hardware. The performance of non-natively supported types can differ from the full instruction throughput rate. For example, 16-bit integer operations can be performed on the 32-bit integer ALUs at full rate; however, 64-bit integer operations might need several instructions on the 32-bit integer ALUs.
* Any type can be emulated by software, but this page does not cover such cases.
Hardware type support
==========================================
AMD GPU hardware support for data types is listed in the following tables.

.. note::
For cases that are not natively supported, you can emulate atomic operations using software.
Software-emulated atomic operations have high negative performance impact when they frequently
access the same memory address.

ROCm library support for int8, float8 (E4M3), float8 (E5M2), int16, float16, bfloat16, int32,
tensorfloat32, float32, int64, and float64 is listed in the following tables.
