Multifloats.jl: the world's fastest extended-precision floating-point arithmetic (github.com/dzhang314)
1 point by postflopclarity 4 hours ago | 1 comment


from the README

MultiFloats.jl is the product of significant original research on high-precision computer arithmetic, culminating in the discovery of a novel class of fast branch-free algorithmsfor floating-point arithmetic beyond machine precision. These state-of-the-art algorithms are both faster and more accurate than all previous techniques.
