Precision Arithmetic: A New Floating-Point Arithmetic
A new deterministic floating-point arithmetic called precision arithmetic is developed to track precision for arithmetic calculations. It uses a novel rounding scheme to avoid the excessive rounding error propagation of conventional floating-point arithmetic. Unlike interval arithmetic, its uncertainty tracking is based on statistics and the central limit theorem, with a much tighter bounding r...
متن کاملAlgorithms for arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic
We present techniques which may be used to perform computations of very high accuracy using only straightforward oating point arithmetic operations of limited precision, and we prove the validity of these techniques under very general hypotheses satissed by most implementations of oating point arithmetic. To illustrate the application of these techniques, we present an algorithm which computes ...
متن کاملDouble precision floating-point arithmetic on FPGAs
We present low cost FPGA floating-point arithmetic circuits for all the common operations, i.e. addition/subtraction, multiplication, division and square root. Such circuits can be extremely useful in the FPGA implementation of complex systems that benefit from the reprogrammability and parallelism of the FPGA device but also require a general purpose arithmetic unit. While previous work has co...
متن کاملCustomizable Precision of Floating-Point Arithmetic with Bitslice Vector Types
Customizing the precision of data can provide attractive trade-offs between accuracy and hardware resources. We propose a novel form of vector computing aimed at arrays of custom-precision floating point data. We represent these vectors in bitslice format. Bitwise instructions are used to implement arithmetic circuits in software that operate on customized bit-precision. Experiments show that t...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Quad-Double Precision Floating Point Arithmetic
A quad-double number is an unevaluated sum of four IEEE double precision numbers, capable of representing at least 212 bits of signi cand. We present the algorithms for various arithmetic operations (including the four basic operations and various algebraic and transcendental operations) on quad-double numbers. The performance of the algorithms, implemented in C++, is also presented.
