A precision- and range-independent tool for testing floating-point arithmetric I basic operations, square root, and remainder.

This paper introduces a precision- and range-independent tool for testing the compliance of hardware or software implementations of (multiprecision) floating-point arithmetic with the principles of the IEEE standards 754 and 854. The tool consists of a driver program, offering many options to test o...
