Floating-point computations are quickly finding their way in the design of safety- and mission-critical systems, despite the fact that designing floating-point algorithms is significantly more difficult than designing integer algorithms.…

C++ leans towards a memory-inefficient storage of structs: The compiler inserts padding bits, while it is not able to exploit knowledge about the range of integers, enums or bitsets. Furthermore, the language provides no support for…

Most software domains rely on compilers to translate high-level code to multiple different machine languages, with performance not too much worse than what developers would have the patience to write directly in assembly language. However,…
