Why a Chip That’s Bad at Math Can Help Computers Tackle Harder Problems
- j-pb 10y agoFloating point is already incredibly imprecise. The thought of debugging any piece of software on this system sends shivers down my spine. I would much rather see something like UNUMS (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9943589 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9943589), which provide improved accuracy AND energy efficiency over IEEE floating point.
