24th Ieee Symposium On Computer Arithmetic

24th IEEE Symposium on Computer Arithmetic

Since 1969, the ARITH symposia have served as the primary and reference conference for presenting scientific work on the latest research in computer arithmetic The topics of the conference include theoretical aspects, number systems, algorithms for operations and math functions, implementations, validation, and applications of computer arithmetic.

Handbook of Floating-Point Arithmetic

Floating-point arithmetic is the most widely used way of implementing real-number arithmetic on modern computers. However, making such an arithmetic reliable and portable, yet fast, is a very difficult task. As a result, floating-point arithmetic is far from being exploited to its full potential. This handbook aims to provide a complete overview of modern floating-point arithmetic. So that the techniques presented can be put directly into practice in actual coding or design, they are illustrated, whenever possible, by a corresponding program. The handbook is designed for programmers of numerical applications, compiler designers, programmers of floating-point algorithms, designers of arithmetic operators, and more generally, students and researchers in numerical analysis who wish to better understand a tool used in their daily work and research.
