Why would you only use half of a 32bit float?? That reduces
your accuracy/precision and makes you incompatible with the rest of
the world doing floating point imaging.
nVidia graphics hardware uses half-float - it's useful where bandwidth
is a premium - such as downloading high dynamic range images into
graphics hardware at realtime rates - and in a lot of cases, a half
precision float is still very useful.
