Subject: Floating point numbers fitting into SCM object
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2024 13:37:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40c0eb68-94ec-5302-0571-16d33f4f17ac@gmail.com> (raw)
Has anyone considered implementing floating point values with e.g. 60
bits that could fit into an SCM object? They would be more efficient
than double precision numbers and almost as accurate.
