Interval Arithmetic Using Sse-2 (draft)
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an implementation of double precision interval arithmetic using the single-instruction-multiple-data SSE-2 instruction and register set extensions. The implementation is part of a package for exact real arithmetic, which defines the interval arithmetic variation that must be used: incorrect operations such as division by zero cause exceptions, loose evaluation of the operations is in effect, and performance is more important than tightness of the produced bounds. The SSE2 extensions are suitable for the job, because they can be used to operate on a pair of double precision numbers and include separate rounding mode control and detection of the exceptional conditions. The paper describes the ideas we use to fit interval arithmetic to this set of instructions, shows a performance comparison with other freely available interval arithmetic packages, and discusses possible very simple hardware extensions that can significantly increase the performance of interval arithmetic.

متن کاملArithmetic Aggregation Operators for Interval-valued Intuitionistic Linguistic Variables and Application to Multi-attribute Group Decision Making
The intuitionistic linguistic set (ILS) is an extension of linguisitc variable. To overcome the drawback of using single real number to represent membership degree and non-membership degree for ILS, the concept of interval-valued intuitionistic linguistic set (IVILS) is introduced through representing the membership degree and non-membership degree with intervals for ILS in this paper. The oper...
متن کاملEffects of Exercise Program Requiring Attention, Memory and Imitation on Cognitive Function in Elderly Persons: A Non-Randomized Pilot Study
Background: Square-Stepping Exercise (SSE) was developed as a novel exercise form that combines physical and cognitive training. Participants watch, recognize, memorize and follow step patterns which an instructor demonstrates on a 4 by 10 square-patterned SSE mat without viewing printed pattern diagrams. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of SSE on cognitive function. Methods...
متن کاملType-2 Fuzzy Arithmetic using Alpha-planes
This paper examines type-2 fuzzy arithmetic using interval analysis. It relies heavily on alpha-cuts and alpha-planes. Furthermore, we discuss the use of quasi type-2 fuzzy sets proposed by Mendel and Liu and define quasi type-2 fuzzy numbers. Arithmetic operations of such numbers are defined and a worked example is presented. Keywords— Fuzzy Arithmetic, Type-2 Fuzzy Arithmetic, Type-2 Fuzzy Nu...
