The half-precision data type in MATLAB is based on the IEEE half-precision floating point format and is useful when you need to reduce the memory needed for your code while maintaining precision.

Some embedded hardware targets natively support special types for half precision, such as _Float16 and _fp16 data types for ARM^® compilers. This video demonstrates the steps to generate native half-precision C code for embedded hardware targets that natively support half precision floating-point data types.
