There was a time when you hated to use floating point because it was so expensive in either dollars or CPU time, but these days even a solder controller can do relatively fast math with floats.

[Ken]’s account of the bug and the dustup surrounding it is first-rate, and if you ever wanted to really understand how floating-point math works in silicon, this is one article you won’t want ...

Abstract: This standard specifies formats and methods for floating-point arithmetic in computer systems: standard and extended functions with single, double, extended, and extendable precision, and ...

This project provides simple, safe floating-point math operations with little overhead. You get basic arithmetic operations without having to store your numbers in ...

Floating point also enables calculating a wide range of numbers very quickly. Although floating point dates back thousands of years, the concept is the same today. In a computer, the same quantity ...

MathLibrary.cmd is not a reasonable solution to these problems and should not be used in production by anyone. However, if you ever woke up and asked yourself, "Is it possible to get CMD to do ...

Also called a "floating point unit" (FPU), the math coprocessor may be a stand-alone chip or circuits built into the CPU. Floating point capability is very important to computation-intensive work ...
