Computing Integer Powers in Floating-Point Arithmetic
We introduce two algorithms for accurately evaluating powers to a positive integer in floating-point arithmetic, assuming a fused multiply-add (fma) instruction is available. We ...

Accelerating Scientific Computations with Mixed Precision Algorithms
On modern architectures, the performance of 32-bit operations is often at least twice as fast as the performance of 64-bit operations. By using a combination of 32-bit and 64-bit ...
