High-Precision Software Directory

[TimoVJL]

There is a that QD project:
https://www.davidhbailey.com/dhbsoftware/
Lisence is:
https://www.davidhbailey.com/dhbsoftware/LBNL-BSD-License.docx

In attachment is a limited version (DD) of it in C-language.
Just fix it and make an assembler version of it, but follow a license.

PS.
I don't have to be involved in this project any more.

Interesting stuff for folks who have a use for high precision maths. We have a member here Ray Filiatrault who has a background in maths and I remember long ago Ray mentioning a technique of fixed point maths that could do unusual things.

if anyone is interested in double-double or quad-double precision using floating-point arithmetic Google gives a lot of hits, here's a PDF describing the algorithms http://web.mit.edu/tabbott/Public/quaddouble-debian/qd-2.3.4-old/docs/qd.pdf and https://portal.nersc.gov/project/sparse/xiaoye-web/arith15.pdf

as long as masm64 sdk started,I have wanted to try out if 64bit version fixed point and time it vs real8's
but I prefer the real4's and real8's flexibility and together with SIMD its fast
scalar it seems like its going to be a race between conversion between float/ints using floats vs extra bitshifting when using fixed points

As asmc support 128 bit, a library with it could be usable.
