Towards a Fast and Reliable Software Implementation of SLI-FLP Hybrid Computer Arithmetic
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe a C++ implementation of a hybrid system combining SLI (symmetric level-index) arithmetic and FLP (floating-point) arithmetic. The principal motivation for the work to be presented is to promote the use of SLI arithmetic as a practical framework for scientific computing. This hybrid arithmetic is essentially overflow and underflow free, and its implementation has shown the suitability to be used in real life computations. Key-Words: symmetric level-index, computer arithmetic, overflow, underflow, hybrid, number representation.

Basic Linear Algebra Operations in SLI Arithmetic
Symmetric level-index arithmetic was introduced to overcome recognized limitations of oating-point systems, most notably overrow and un-derrow. The original recursive algorithms for arithmetic operations could be parallelized to some extent, particularly when applied to extended sums or products, and a SIMD software implementation of some of these algorithms is described. The main purpose of th...
متن کاملTowards Measuring the Project Management Process During Large Scale Software System Implementation Phase
Project management is an important factor to accomplish the decision to implement large-scale software systems (LSS) in a successful manner. The effective project management comes into play to plan, coordinate and control such a complex project. Project management factor has been argued as one of the important Critical Success Factor (CSF), which need to be measured and monitored carefully duri...

متن کاملCuckoo search via Levy flights applied to uncapacitated facility location problem
Facility location problem (FLP) is a mathematical way to optimally locate facilities within a set of candidates to satisfy the requirements of a given set of clients. This study addressed the uncapacitated FLP as it assures that the capacity of every selected facility is finite. Thus, even if the demand is not known, which often is the case, in reality, organizations may still be able to take s...
