Floating-Point
Representation,
Algorithms, and
Implementations
Many scientific and engineering applications require computations with real
numbers. To represent these numbers, fixed-point representations can be used.
However, in many cases the range of this representation does not correspond to the
range required by the applications, producing frequent overflows and underflows.
A standard solution is the use of floating-point representations. In this chapter
we present this representation, consider its properties, and discuss the algorithms
and implementations for the basic arithmetic operations.
