Bøger af Jean-Michel Muller

This handbook aims to provide a complete overview of modern floating-point arithmetic. This includes a detailed treatment of the current (IEEE-754) and next (preliminarily called IEEE-754R) standards for floating-point arithmetic.

Presenting concepts and tools to understand, build and implement algorithms for computing elementary functions such as logarithms, the 3rd edition includes hardware- and software- algorithms, along with issues in accurate floating-point implementation. New sections include an overview of the IEEE-754-2008 standard, and double-/triple-word numbers.
