Floating-point operations

This chapter describes how floating-point computations are carried out on CommonPoint platforms. It is more detailed than the brief presentation in Chapter 7, which introduced a set of programming examples. This chapter presents the underlying computational model and the various responses to exceptional cases at the boundary of the model. It closes with a set of examples.
