  2. Quadruple-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadruple-precision...

    The range of a double-double remains essentially the same as the double-precision format because the exponent has still 11 bits, [4] significantly lower than the 15-bit exponent of IEEE quadruple precision (a range of 1.8 × 10 308 for double-double versus 1.2 × 10 4932 for binary128).

  3. Double-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating...

    Double-precision floating-point format (sometimes called FP64 or float64) is a floating-point number format, usually occupying 64 bits in computer memory; it represents a wide range of numeric values by using a floating radix point. Double precision may be chosen when the range or precision of single precision would be insufficient.

  4. Half-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating...

    ILM was searching for an image format that could handle a wide dynamic range, but without the hard drive and memory cost of single or double precision floating point. [5] The hardware-accelerated programmable shading group led by John Airey at SGI (Silicon Graphics) used the s10e5 data type in 1997 as part of the 'bali' design effort.

  5. Media type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_type

    In information and communications technology, a media type, [1] [2] content type [2] [3] or MIME type [1] [4] [5] is a two-part identifier for file formats and content formats.Their purpose is comparable to filename extensions and uniform type identifiers, in that they identify the intended data format.

  6. Stack Overflow - Wikipedia

    In early May 2019, an update was deployed to Stack Overflow's development version. It contained a bug which allowed an attacker to grant themselves privileges in accessing the production version of the site.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Atrial_flutter.webm

    Atrial flutter is an atrial arrhythmia where the atria contract at extremely high rates as a result of a reentrant circuit. This video describes the known pathophysiology for atrial flutter, as well as the two types, signs and symptoms, complications, and treatment.

  8. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    These properties are sometimes used for purely integer data, to get 53-bit integers on platforms that have double-precision floats but only 32-bit integers. The standard specifies some special values, and their representation: positive infinity ( +∞ ), negative infinity ( −∞ ), a negative zero (−0) distinct from ordinary ("positive ...

  9. FlatBuffers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlatBuffers

    The serialized format allows random access to specific data elements (e.g. individual string or integer properties) without parsing all data. Unlike Protocol Buffers, which uses variable length integers , FlatBuffers encodes integers in their native size, which favors performance but leads to longer encoded representations.
