Bfloat16Layout (NdArray Java Library 0.4.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.tensorflow.ndarray.impl.buffer.layout.Bfloat16Layout

All Implemented Interfaces:

DataLayout<ShortDataBuffer,Float>, FloatDataLayout<ShortDataBuffer>
```
public final class Bfloat16Layout
extends Object
implements FloatDataLayout<ShortDataBuffer>
```
Data layout that converts 32-bit floats from/to 16-bit, truncating their mantissa to 7 bits but preserving the 8-bit exponent with the same bias.
