F16 is a storage format, not intended to be a computation format.

So you need to convert from F16 to F32 (or F64), do the computation (add, mul, div, etc.), then convert and store again as F16.

x86 != ARM

Code:

        mov     eax,'x86'
        mov     ebx,'ARM'
        cmp     eax,ebx
        je      all_cpus_are_the_same
        jne     things_work_differently_on_different_cpus
