Note: The number of array elements (in bytes) cannot exceed the block request size specified. This means
that array size cannot exceed 16 words given a block request size of 32 bytes. For more information, refer to
Block Request Size.

Syntax Data Type
F<file>:<element> Float
F<file>:<element> [rows][cols] Float array
F<file>:<element> [cols] Float array
