A comparative study of IEEE 754 32-bit Float and Posit 32-bit floating point format on precision. : Using numerical methods.
Posit is a new way of representing floating points in computers. This thesis investigates the precision of the 32-bit Posit floating point format compared to the current standard 32-bit IEEE 754 Float format by conducting tests with numerical methods. Posit was chosen due to its promising results in...
