CRlibm: a Library of Elementary Functions with Correct Rounding
Participants : Florent de Dinechin, Jean-Michel Muller, Guillaume Revy.
The CRlibm project aims at developing a mathematical library (libm ) which provides implementations of the double precision C99 standard elementary functions,
-
correctly rounded in the four IEEE-754 rounding modes,
-
with a comprehensive proof of both the algorithms used and their implementation,
-
sufficiently efficient in average time, worst-case time, and memory consumption to replace existing libm s transparently.
In 2008, the main objective of the CRlibm project was reached when the revised floating-point standard IEEE-754-2008 was published with a recommendation for correctly rounded functions.
Version 1.0beta2 was released with a much improved power function xy . However the development focus has now turned to automated libm development with the Metalibm project.
