I am working on a viewshed* algorithm that does some floating point arithmetic. The algorithm sacrifices accuracy for speed and so only builds an approximate viewshed ...

Recently I've become involved in multiple projects where inherent limitations in floating point numbers are leading to problems (for example, carry out a few hundred matrix multiplications and the ...

Today a company called Bounded Floating Point announced a “breakthrough patent in processor design, which allows representation of real numbers accurate to the last digit for the first time in ...
