exponent arithmetic
11Floating point — In computing, floating point describes a method of representing real numbers in a way that can support a wide range of values. Numbers are, in general, represented approximately to a fixed number of significant digits and scaled using an exponent …
12IEEE 754-1985 — The IEEE Standard for Binary Floating Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754) is the most widely used standard for floating point computation, and is followed by many CPU and FPU implementations. The standard defines formats for representing floating point… …
13Quadruple-precision floating-point format — In computing, quadruple precision (also commonly shortened to quad precision) is a binary floating point computer number format that occupies 16 bytes (128 bits) in computer memory. In IEEE 754 2008 the 128 bit base 2 format is officially… …
14Decimal floating point — Floating point precisions IEEE 754: 16 bit: Half (binary16) 32 bit: Single (binary32), decimal32 64 bit: Double (binary64), decimal64 128 bit: Quadruple (binary128), decimal128 Other: Minifloat · Extended precision Arbitrary precision… …
15IEEE 754-2008 — The IEEE Standard for Floating Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754) is the most widely used standard for floating point computation, and is followed by many hardware (CPU and FPU) and software implementations. Many computer languages allow or require that …
16Rounding — This article is about numerical rounding. For lip rounding in phonetics, see Labialisation. For other uses, see Rounding (disambiguation). Rounding a numerical value means replacing it by another value that is approximately equal but has a… …
17Extended precision — The term extended precision refers to storage formats for floating point numbers taking advantage of an opportunity not falling in to a regular sequence of single, double and quadruple precision such as 32 bit, 64 bit and 128 bit occupying two,… …
18IEEE 754 — Die Norm IEEE 754 (ANSI/IEEE Std 754 1985; IEC 60559:1989 International version) definiert Standarddarstellungen für binäre Gleitkommazahlen in Computern und legt genaue Verfahren für die Durchführung mathematischer Operationen, insbesondere für… …
19Large numbers — This article is about large numbers in the sense of numbers that are significantly larger than those ordinarily used in everyday life, for instance in simple counting or in monetary transactions. The term typically refers to large positive… …
20Minifloat — In computing, minifloats are floating point values represented with very few bits. Predictably, they are not well suited for general purpose numerical calculations. They are used for special purposes most often in computer graphics where… …
