Usually, the 32-bit and 64-bit IEEE 754 binary floating-point formats are used for float and double respectively. The C99 standard includes new real floating-point types float_t and double_t, defined in <math.h>. They correspond to the types used for the intermediate results of floating-point expressions when FLT_EVAL_METHOD is 0, 1, or 2.
Any floating-point type can be modified with complex, and is then defined as a pair of floating-point numbers. Note that C99 and C++ do not implement complex numbers in a code-compatible way – the latter instead provides the class std:: complex. All operations on complex numbers are defined in the <complex.h> header.
As a result, the code above will run slower on the 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 than on the 166 MHz Y-MP! A machine with a longer floating-point add latency or with multiple adders would require more accumulators to run in parallel. It is easy to change the loop above to compute a 3x3 block instead of a 2x2 block, but the resulting code is not always faster.
Floating-point numbers are represented imprecisely due to hardware constraints, so a loop such as for X := 0.1 step 0.1 to 1.0 do might be repeated 9 or 10 times, depending on rounding errors and/or the hardware and/or the compiler version.
The GNU Multiple Precision Floating-Point Reliable Library (GNU MPFR) is a GNU portable C library for arbitrary-precision binary floating-point computation with correct rounding, based on GNU Multi-Precision Library. [1] [2]
Swift introduced half-precision floating point numbers in Swift 5.3 with the Float16 type. [20] OpenCL also supports half-precision floating point numbers with the half datatype on IEEE 754-2008 half-precision storage format. [21] As of 2024, Rust is currently working on adding a new f16 type for IEEE half-precision 16-bit floats. [22]
