I have seen multiple references in PaddlePaddle code to transpiling to float16 with gains on Volta GPUs. This out of date doc gives instructions but I can't find anything for recent versions:
http://www.paddlepaddle.org/documentation/docs/en/1.3/design/data_type/float16.html

I don't know Chinese but it seems as though the feature has been removed or moved. Is it possible to convert the face detector and will it be faster?

We add example for image classfication on ImageNet, see: https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/models/tree/develop/fluid/PaddleCV/image_classification/#using-mixed-precision-training .

But, we haven't experimented on PyramidBox. We have plans to do F16 for detection in the future.
