ieee754的標準，原英文版的！Twenty years ago anarchy threatened floating-point arithmetic. Over a dozen commercially significant arithmetics
boasted diverse wordsizes, precisions, rounding procedures and over/underflow behaviors, and more were in the
works. “Portable” software intended to reconcile that numerical diversity had become unbearably costly to
develop.
Thirteen years ago, when IEEE 754 became official, major Microprocessor manufacturers had already adopted it
despite the challenge it posed to implementors. With unprecedented altruism, hardware designers had risen to its
challenge in the belief that they would ease and encourage a vast burgeoning of numerical software. They did
succeed to a considerable extent. Anyway, rounding anomalies that preoccupied all of us in the 1970s afflict only
CRAY X-MPs — J90s now.
