Handbook of Floating-Point Arithmetic
Muller, Jean-Michel / Brunie, Nicolas / De Dinechin, Florent / Jeannerod, Claude-Pierre / Torres, Serge / Lefèvre, Vincent / Melquiond, Guillaume / Revol, Nathalie / Joldes, Mioara This handbook is a definitive guide to the effective use of modern floating-point arithmetic, which has considerably evolved, from the frequently inconsistent floating-point number systems of early computing to the recent IEEE 754-2008 standard. Most of computational mathematics depends on floating-point numbers, and understanding their various implementations will allow readers to develop programs specifically tailored for the standard’s tech...
