Bounded Floating Point: Identifying and Revealing Floating-Point Error
Abstract:
This paper presents a new floating-point technology: Bounded Floating Point (BFP) that constrains inexact floating-point values by adding a new field to the standard floating point data structure. This BFP extension to standard floating point identifies the number of significant bits of the representation of an infinitely accurate real value, which standard floating point cannot.…
