Research direction

Start by surveying the library’s existing matrix types and their supported base types to identify the nearest comparable implementation. Confirm the scope of half-precision support for custom local-space operations and determine which matrix sizes and related operations are required. Done means 16-bit half-float matrices are supported consistently with the library’s other base types.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There are matrices for almost every other base type in the library but not 16-bit half precision float matrices.

This would be extremely useful for reducing memory footprint for custom operations in local space where the inaccuracy of half floats may be negligible / acceptable.
