Techniques that rigorously bound the overall rounding error exhibited by a numerical program are of significant interest for communities developing numerical software. However, there are few available tools today that can be used to…

We propose a new instruction (FPADDRE) that computes the round-off error in floating-point addition. We explain how this instruction benefits high-precision arithmetic operations in applications where double precision is not sufficient.…

We introduce new rounding methods to improve the accuracy of finite precision quantum arithmetic. These quantum rounding methods are applicable when multiple samples are being taken from a quantum program. We show how to use multiple…

In this work we consider a mixed precision approach to accelerate the implemetation of multi-stage methods. We show that Runge-Kutta methods can be designed so that certain costly intermediate computations can be performed as a…

An improvement on precision of recursive function simulation in IEEE floating point standard is presented. It is shown that the average of rounding towards negative infinite and rounding towards positive infinite yields a better result than…

Classical and new numerical schemes are generated using evolutionary computing. Differential Evolution is used to find the coefficients of finite difference approximations of function derivatives, and of single and multi-step integration…

Floating point error is a drawback of embedded systems implementation that is difficult to avoid. Computing rigorous upper bounds of roundoff errors is absolutely necessary for the validation of critical software. This problem of computing…

Floating-point round-off errors are ubiquitous in numerically intensive programs arising in fields such as scientific computing and optimization. As floating-point errors potentially lead to unexpected and catastrophic program failures, one…

Algorithms operating on real numbers are implemented as floating-point computations in practice, but floating-point operations introduce roundoff errors that can degrade the accuracy of the result. We propose $\Lambda_{num}$, a functional…

Although mixed precision arithmetic has recently garnered interest for training dense neural networks, many other applications could benefit from the speed-ups and lower storage cost if applied appropriately. The growing interest in…

We examine numerical rounding errors of some deterministic solvers for systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). We show that the accumulation of rounding errors results in a solution that is inherently random and we obtain the…

The authors show that the round-off error can break the consistency which is the premise of using the difference equation to replace the original differential equations. We therefore proposed a theoretical approach to investigate this…

Mixed-precision computing has become increasingly important in modern high-performance computing and machine learning applications. When implementing custom mixed-precision functions -- such as fused operators, optimized GPU kernels, or…

Since numbers in the computer are represented with a fixed number of bits, loss of accuracy during calculation is unavoidable. At high precision where more bits (e.g. 64) are allocated to each number, round-off errors are typically small.…

We analyze the forward error in the floating point summation of real numbers, for computations in low precision or extreme-scale problem dimensions that push the limits of the precision. We present a systematic recurrence for a martingale…

Support for arithmetic in multiple precisions and number formats is becoming increasingly common in emerging high-performance architectures. From a computational scientist's perspective, our goal is to determine how and where we can safely…

Applied to the master equation, the usual numerical integration methods, such as Runge-Kutta, become inefficient when the rates associated with various transitions differ by several orders of magnitude. We introduce an integration scheme…

Many algorithms feature an iterative loop that converges to the result of interest. The numerical operations in such algorithms are generally implemented using finite-precision arithmetic, either fixed- or floating-point, most of which…

Floating point error is an inevitable drawback of embedded systems implementation. Computing rigorous upper bounds of roundoff errors is absolutely necessary to the validation of critical software. This problem is even more challenging when…
