Interesting comment from John Gustafson on Google Groups: <<<>>> Incidentally, I've been challenged to a debate by William Kahan at the ARITH23 conference, July 10-13 in San Jose, CA. (Kahn is the designer of the IEEE floating point numerical format).
Title: "The Great Debate: The End of Error?" Kahan has apparently prepared a 34-page response to my book (Gustafson's "The End Of Error" book) though I have not seen it and he will probably spring all kinds of surprises on me. It should be a good show! <<<>> Skip On Apr 29, 2016 10:27 AM, "Skip Cave" <[email protected]> wrote: Here's the Google Group on unum computing: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/unum-computing Here's Gustafson's home page: http://www.johngustafson.net/index.html Skip Skip Cave Cave Consulting LLC On Fri, Apr 29, 2016 at 5:35 AM, Pierpaolo Bernardi <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Apr 29, 2016 at 7:41 AM, Skip Cave <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Here's a much newer presentation by Gustafson that goes into the > > implementation of Unums in much more detail. > > > > http://www.johngustafson.net/presentations/Unums2.0slides-withNotes.pdf > > This is about Unums 2.0, which is a completely different idea.
