DoubleFloat¶
sf.spad line 302 [edit on github]
DoubleFloat is intended to make accessible hardware floating point arithmetic in Language{}, either native double precision, or IEEE. On most machines, there will be hardware support for the arithmetic operations: +, *, / and possibly also the sqrt operation. The operations exp, log, sin, cos, atan are normally coded in software based on minimax polynomial/rational approximations. Some general comments about the accuracy of the operations: the operations +, *, / and sqrt are expected to be fully accurate. The operations exp, log, sin, cos and atan are not expected to be fully accurate. In particular, sin and cos will lose all precision for large arguments. The Float domain provides an alternative to the DoubleFloat
domain. It provides an arbitrary precision model of floating point arithmetic. This means that accuracy problems like those above are eliminated by increasing the working precision where necessary. Float provides some special functions such as erf, the error function in addition to the elementary functions. The disadvantage of Float is that it is much more expensive than small floats when the latter can be used.
