Letters to the IEEE Computer Arithmetic Standards Revision Group
نویسنده
چکیده
The IEEE standards 754 and 854 for floating-point arithmetic have been under revision for some time. The work is pushed forward by the Floating-Point Working Group (ca. 100 scientists) of the Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society. The group meets monthly near Palo Alto/San Jose in California. At present Dec. 2006 is the deadline for the new standard. The author has tried to influence the development of the new standard by several letters he has sent to the working group. The text of these letters follows.

متن کاملOn Formally Correct Implementation of IEEE Computer Arithmetic
IEEE oating-point arithmetic standards 754 and 854 re ect the present state of the art in designing and implementing oating-point arithmetic units. A formalism applied to a standard non-trapping mode oating-point system shows incorrectness of some numeric and non-numeric results. A software emulation of decimal oating-point computer arithmetic supporting an enhanced set of exception symbols is ...
