It adds the half (fp16) into ginkgo.
Some related collection:

  • GCC 12+ supports _Float16
  • Clang 15+ supports _Float16
  • Cuda 10+ supports 16 bit atomicAdd on Compute Capability >= 7.0 (atomicCAS has same condition although it only mentioned the version in the atomicAdd)
  • Hip does not support 16 bit atomic
  • Sycl (I am not sure)
  • c++-23 supports float16 and bfloat16

Cuda 9.2 __half does not contain +=. (I think it can be added by more operator overload outside)
ROCm 4.0 can not convert __half to double. (I do not think it can be added outside?)
I will disable half support for these two version.

There are two additional commit: one is fixing oneAPI6 (#1251) and the other is multigrid experiments.
They will be cleaned afterwards.

Discussion:
Do we still need to use float2half from vendor in gko::half?

Some fixes are extracted from this pr to #1253
TODO:

  • compile everything and run-able
  • change the IDR without half when running curand/hiprand, throws the error
  • only test the double <-> floator to wait the thrust<__half>
    • current testing on double, float. but a few double test with half are failed (I have create the testing/benchmark next_precision chain and also add some TODO at the failed tests)
  • thrust<__half> operator.
    • the stacking issue needs to be resolved
  • MPI Custom type/op for __half (it can be communicated but the reduction will be wrong)
  • Csr strategy logic when arch does not support 16bit atomic
  • Disable half when it does not need? (with GINKGO_ENABLE_HALF)
  • Using Sycl half all not gko::half when using dpcpp
  • clean code (might not need some changes under current half design)
  • Move gko::half to public interface

Closes #73

I would suggest putting all the todos into separate PRs. Having it compile and run in the first PR is IMO already enough. You could create a github project to track the rest of the todo.

- use Csr in residual norm for half apply support
- use higher tolerance for mc64 due to half range
- some example can not finish in half precision for mc64
- skip some test in half due to half range
- fix the half limit value
