/**
 * <p>The {@code Half} class is a wrapper and a utility class to manipulate half-precision 16-bit
 * <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating-point_format">IEEE 754</a>
 * floating point data types (also called fp16 or binary16). A half-precision float can be
 * created from or converted to single-precision floats, and is stored in a short data type.
 * To distinguish short values holding half-precision floats from regular short values,
 * it is recommended to use the <code>@HalfFloat</code> annotation.</p>
 *
 * <p>The IEEE 754 standard specifies an fp16 as having the following format:</p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Sign bit: 1 bit</li>
 * <li>Exponent width: 5 bits</li>
 * <li>Significand: 10 bits</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>The format is laid out as follows:</p>
 * <pre>
 * 1   11111   1111111111
 * ^   --^--   -----^----
 * sign  |          |_______ significand
 *       |
 *       -- exponent
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Half-precision floating points can be useful to save memory and/or
 * bandwidth at the expense of range and precision when compared to single-precision
 * floating points (fp32).</p>
 * <p>To help you decide whether fp16 is the right storage type for you need, please
 * refer to the table below that shows the available precision throughout the range of
 * possible values. The <em>precision</em> column indicates the step size between two
 * consecutive numbers in a specific part of the range.</p>
