Today a company called Bounded Floating Point announced a breakthrough patent in processor design, which allows representation of real numbers accurate to the last digit "for the first time in ...

Floating point numbers are commonly known as “real” numbers and, in the context of gaming, they’re a bit more valuable of a metric than the alternative because CPUs and GPUs don’t usually ...

The challenge of using smaller-format floating-point numbers is deciding how large of an exponent will be used. An 8-bit “minifloat” has a sign bit, a four-bit exponent, and three-bit mantissa.

IEEE floating point numbers have just three parts – a sign, an exponent, and a fraction. While a 32-bit floating point number is capable of expressing numbers between 10^-38 and 10^38, with ...
