Hello, I noticed that there is no type definition provided for ee_f16 inside the project (although it is used to define type MATDAT ). core_portme.h, which contains definitions for most of the ee_~ types doesn't contain definition for ee_f16. Are benchmark users expected to provide their own implementation and definition for ee_f16 to run the benchmark with ee_f16 ? Thank you 🤓

           #define MATDAT_INT 1 
        
           #if MATDAT_INT 
        
           typedef ee_s16 MATDAT; 
        
           typedef ee_s32 MATRES; 
        
           #else 
        
           typedef ee_f16 MATDAT; 
        
           typedef ee_f32 MATRES; 
        
           #endif

Hi @JOE1994,
This is dead code as the floating-point matrix multiply was never activated in production. Given the fact that there is no standard C way of defining a 16-bit float, it would require, as you pointed out, a user-specific definition for that platform.
Thanks,
Peter
