Algorithms for Quad-Double Precision Floating Point Arithmetic
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Quad Double Arithmetic in Lisp
In a numerical calculation sometimes we need higher-than double-precision floating-point arithmetic to allow us to be confident of a result. One alternative is to rewrite the program to use a software package implementing arbitrary-precision extended floating-point arithmetic such as ARPREC or MPFR, and try to choose a suitable precision. Such an arithmetic scheme, in spite of helpful tools, ma...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Sparse Data Structure for Double-Double and Quad-Double Arithmetics
Double-double and quad-double arithmetics are effective tools to reduce the round-off errors in floating-point arithmetic. However, the dense data structure for high-precision numbers in MuPAT/Scilab requires large amounts of memory and a great deal of the computation time. We implemented sparse data types ddsp and qdsp for double-double and quad-double numbers. We showed that sparse data struc...

We propose to study the impact on the energy footprint of two advanced algorithmic strategies in the context of high performance dense linear algebra libraries: (1) mixed precision algorithms with iterative refinement allow to run at the peak performance of single precision floating-point arithmetic while achieving double precision accuracy and (2) tree reduction technique exposes more parallel...

In the field of scientific computing, the exactitude of the calculation is of prime importance. That leads to efforts made to increase the precision of the floating-point algorithms. One of them is to increase the precision of the floating-point number to double or quadruple the working precision. The building block of these efforts is the error-free transformations. CELL processor is a micropr...
