IEEE Standard 754 Floating Point Numbers
There are several ways to represent real numbers on computers. Fixed point places a radix point somewhere in the middle of the digits, and is equivalent to using integers that represent portions of some unit. For example, one might represent 1/100ths of a unit; if you have four decimal digits, you could represent 10.82, or 00.01. Another approach is to use rationals, and represent every number ...

متن کاملThe Unum Number Format: Mathematical Foundations, Implementation and Comparison to IEEE 754 Floating-Point Numbers
This thesis examines a modern concept for machine numbers based on interval arithmetic called 'Unums' and compares it to IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic, evaluating possible uses of this format where floating-point numbers are inadequate. In the course of this examination, this thesis builds theoretical foundations for IEEE 754 floating-point numbers, interval arithmetic based on the project...
متن کاملIEEE 754-2008 Decimal Floating-Point for Intel
A brief description is provided of the decimal floating-point support available for Intel® Architecture processors, compliant with the IEEE Standard 754-2008 for Floating-Point Arithmetic [1]. Some performance results are included.
متن کاملThe New IEEE-754 Standard for Floating Point Arithmetic
The IEEE-754 standard for Floating Point Arithmetic[1] that was in effect at the time of this seminar was adopted in 1985. That standard was intended for hardware implementation, although provisions were made for software implementation for operations. In addition to required operations, an appendix of recommended functions was also specified. Default exception handling was specified, and provi...
