Well the algorithm for floating point addition is very complicated so regardless of whether they were gaming the flops you would expect floating point multiplication to be at least as fast as floating point addition on most architectures.
- amelius 6y ago> the algorithm for floating point addition is very complicated Ah yes, of course. I think it is slightly misleading that the article is mostly about large integer multiplications, while that remark holds for floating point operations.
