Abstract:A key concern in the field of scientific computation is the convergence of numerical solvers when applied to large problems. The numerical workarounds used to improve convergence are often problem specific, time consuming and require skilled numerical analysts. An alternative is to simply increase the working precision of the computation, but this is difficult due to the lack of efficient hardware support for extended precision. We propose Xvpfloat, a RISC-V ISA extension for dynamically variable and extended … Show more
