Several optimization methods of half-precision general matrix vector multiplication (HGEMV) using CUDA core. The calculation expression is as follows, where the precision of matrix A (1 * K), B (K * N) and C (1 * N) is FP16. Through exploring various parallel task design, the current performance between 1 to 4096 dimensions is not less than 150% of the performance of cublas.
C (1 * N) = A (1 * K) * B (K * N)
