The Future of Numerical Computing Written by one of the foremost
experts in high-performance computing and the inventor of
Gustafson's Law, The End of Error: Unum Computing explains a new
approach to computer arithmetic: the universal number (unum). The
unum encompasses all IEEE floating-point formats as well as
fixed-point and exact integer arithmetic. This new number type
obtains more accurate answers than floating-point arithmetic yet
uses fewer bits in many cases, saving memory, bandwidth, energy,
and power. A Complete Revamp of Computer Arithmetic from the Ground
Up Richly illustrated in color, this groundbreaking book represents
a fundamental change in how to perform calculations automatically.
It illustrates how this novel approach can solve problems that have
vexed engineers and scientists for decades, including problems that
have been historically limited to serial processing. Suitable for
Anyone Using Computers for Calculations The book is accessible to
anyone who uses computers for technical calculations, with much of
the book only requiring high school math. The author makes the
mathematics interesting through numerous analogies. He clearly
defines jargon and uses color-coded boxes for mathematical
formulas, computer code, important descriptions, and exercises.
