ISO/IEC/IEEE-60559 › Information technology - Microprocessor Systems - Floating-Point arithmetic
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
ISO/IEC/IEEE 60559:2011(E) specifies formats and methods forfloating-point arithmetic in computer systems - standard and extended functionswith single, double, extended, and extendable precision and recommends formatsfor data interchange. Exception conditions are defined and standard handling ofthese conditions is specified. It provides a method for computation withfloating-point numbers that will yield the same result whether the processingis done in hardware, software, or a combination of the two. The results of thecomputation will be identical, independent of implementation, given the sameinput data. Errors, and error conditions, in the mathematical processing willbe reported in a consistent manner regardless of implementation. This firstedition, published as ISO/IEC/IEEE 60559, replaces the second edition of IEC60559.
