Elementary Functions and NOT Following the IEEE 754 Floating-Point Standard — TRYING TO FIND THE OBVIOUS
The IEEE-754 Standard for floating-point numbers was introduced initially in 1985 to solve the problem of diverse floating point implementations prevent code being portable and increase stability across platforms. It has been widely adopted and revised over the last 30 years and if you have dealt

Yesterday evening, it was New York. After over 50 mm (2 inches) of rain within an hour, three subway lines were shut down.

Computing Floating-Point Errors by Injecting Perturbations
Floating-point programs form the foundation of modern science and engineering, providing the essential computational framework for a wide range of applications, such as safety-critical systems, aerospace engineering, and financial analysis. Floating-point errors can lead to severe consequences. Although floating-point errors widely exist, only a subset of inputs may trigger significant errors in floating-point programs. Therefore, it is crucial to determine whether a given input could produce s…

Analysis of Floating-Point Matrix Multiplication Computed via Integer Arithmetic
Ootomo, Ozaki, and Yokota [Int. J. High Perform. Comput. Appl., 38 (2024), p. 297-313] have proposed a strategy to recast a floating-point matrix multiplication in terms of integer matrix products. The factors A and B are split into integer slices, the product of these slices is computed exactly, and AB is approximated by accumulating these integer products in floating-point arithmetic. This technique is particularly well suited to mixed-precision matrix multiply-accumulate units with integer s…

Accurate Reduced Floating-Point Precision Implicit Monte Carlo
This work describes methodologies to successfully implement the Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) scheme for thermal radiative transfer in reduced-precision floating-point arithmetic. The methods used can be broadly categorized into scaling approaches and floating-point arithmetic manipulations. Scaling approaches entail re-scaling values to ensure computations stay within a representable range. Floating-point arithmetic manipulations involve changes to order of operations and alternative summation al…

Meta Agreed to Pay up for Scale AI but Then Wanted More for Its Money
The negotiations started as just one billionaire tech founder talking to another. Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg approached Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang in mid-April about a potentially industry-shaking deal. Zuckerberg wanted Wang to join Meta and was willing to pay billions of dollars to ...
