    hi, I'm working in benchmarking and need to compare math library functions between different datatypes. E.g. pow( x, y ) in doubles vs. long doubles, want to cover also decimal datatypes. Think that's somewhere between…

  2. Decimal FP faster than binary?

    Mike Cowlishaw recently pointed me to the decNumber library, and I see fantastic I/O performance that can often compensate for slower calculations. For example, the telco benchmark with output to file runs faster here…

  3. Is that the central shortcoming in binary floating-point math?

    Hi, I'm struggeling with bin-FP imprecision ( think not the first one who does ), and think to have identified one central weakness. IEEE 754 standard delivers consistent arithmetic for a wide range of 'english plumber…
