The statements are also true in the presence of underflow, the computing time does not depend on the exponent range, and no extra memory is required. Our algorithm is fast in terms of measured computing time because it allows good instruction-level parallelism. A special version for K=2, i.e., quadruple precision is also presented. Computational results show that this algorithm is more accurate and faster than competitors such as XBLAS.en2185-410620101224InformatikJournal Article10.1587/nolta.1.2Other
