### Float16Array Typed Arrays

{{jsxref("Float16Array")}} typed arrays are now supported, along with {{jsxref("DataView.prototype.getFloat16()")}} and {{jsxref("DataView.prototype.setFloat16()")}} for reading and setting `Float16Array` values from a {{jsxref("DataView")}}, and the {{jsxref("Math.f16round()")}} static method, which can be used to round numbers to 16 bits.
The new type is useful for sharing data with a GPU, in particular for use cases where it makes sense to trade off precision for memory consumption.
