I set out to learn for myself how LSI is implemented. I am finding that it is harder than I thought.... 続きを読む >>

The floating point arithmetic format that occupies 128 bits of storage is known as binary128 or quadruple precision. This blog post describes an implementation of quadruple precision programmed entirely in the MATLAB language.... 続きを読む >>

The floating point arithmetic format that requires only 16 bits of storage is becoming increasingly popular. Also known as half precision or binary16, the format is useful when memory is a scarce resource.... 続きを読む >>
