I want to use posit as a kind of data type in deep learning, so I want to ask some questions.
(1) How many es-bits does the posit have? For example, is posit8 posit<8, 0>, posit<8, 1> or other types?
(2) How to enable or disable the FMA and Quire operation for posit?
(3) Does it support GPU acceleration?

Sorry, didn't notice the issue post till now.

  1. Currently it's based on the softposit and provides only the standard posit8, posit16, and posit32 which correspond to posit<8,0>, posit<16,1> and posit<32,2>.
  2. Currently numpy-posit has not incorporated the FMA and Quire.
  3. It doesn't support GPU acceleration.
