rounding to single precision
1Single precision — In computing, single precision is a computer numbering format that occupies one storage location in computer memory at a given address. A single precision number, sometimes simply a single, may be defined to be an integer, fixed point, or… …
2Rounding — 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… …
3Precision (computer science) — In computer science, precision of a numerical quantity is a measure of the detail in which the quantity is expressed. This is usually measured in bits, but sometimes in decimal digits. It is related to precision in mathematics, which describes… …
4Double-precision floating-point format — In computing, double precision is a computer number format that occupies two adjacent storage locations in computer memory. A double precision number, sometimes simply called a double, may be defined to be an integer, fixed point, or floating… …
5False precision — (also called overprecision, fake precision, misplaced precision and spurious accuracy) occurs when numerical data are presented in a manner that implies better precision than is actually the case; since precision is a limit to accuracy, this… …
6Quadruple-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… …
7Quadruple precision — In computing, quadruple precision (also commonly shortened to quad precision) is a computer numbering format that occupies four storage locations in computer memory at address, address+1, address+2, and address+3. A quad precision number,… …
8Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel — As with other spreadsheets, Microsoft Excel works only to limited accuracy because it retains only a certain number of figures to describe numbers (it has limited precision). Excel nominally works with 8 byte numbers by default, a modified 1985… …
9RSP — Retirement Savings Plan (Business » Stock Exchange) ** Route Switch Processor (Computing » Networking) ** Response file (Computing » File Extensions) * Resource Specialist Program (Academic & Science » Academic Degrees) * Research and Sponsored… …
10Floating 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 …
