说明

这是2016年由dancefan发布的一部演讲，主题归在Computer architecture & CPUs。它讲的是floating point arithmetic这一支里的具体问题，而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合想看推导、证明或实现细节的人。内容上可以概括成：A 95-minute recorded debate at the ARITH23 computer arithmetic conference between John Gustafson, proponent of unums/posits, and William Kahan, architect of IEEE 754 floating point. They argue the merits of the new number formats versus conventional floats and interval arithmetic.这些读者给出的理由，核心是：It is the go-to primary source whenever HN discusses posits versus IEEE floats, valued for Kahan's sharp critique despite the poor audio.讲法不绑某一条新闻，过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2017年到2023年，有1位不同的读者在1个不同月份把它推荐出来，其中明确叫别人去看的有0次。适合一次性看完。讲者把一个判断讲透，演示是在给这个判断配例子。如果已经会了基本定义，就把注意力放在它怎么把floating point arithmetic变成能跟着复述的例子。
