XFloats exports two these two types: XFloat16, XFloat32.

  • These floating point types correspond to Float16 and Float32.
  • Use them to compute results with greater accuracy at very high speed.

other extended precison floating point types
  • The more accurate type for Float64 is Double64 (DoubleFloats.jl).
    • It calculates more slowly than these types do.
