XFloats
exports two these two types: XFloat16
, XFloat32
.
- These floating point types correspond to
Float16
andFloat32
. - Use them to compute results with greater accuracy at very high speed.

- The more accurate type for
Float64
isDouble64
(DoubleFloats.jl
).- It calculates more slowly than these types do.
