2.1.72 --fp16_format=format
This option enables the use of half-precision floating-point numbers as an optional
extension to the VFPv3 architecture. If a format is not specified, use of the __fp16 data
type is faulted by the compiler.
Syntax
--fp16_format=format
Where format is one of:
alternative
ieee
none
An alternative to ieee that provides additional range, but has no NaN or
inifinity values.
Half-precision binary floating-point format defined by IEEE 754r, a
revision to the IEEE 754 standard.
This is the default setting. It is equivalent to not specifying a format and
means that the compiler faults use of the __fp16 data type.

2.1.73 --fpmode=model

floating-point optimizations.
