Based on that we present an algorithm fo r calculating the rounded-to-nearest result of s := σPi for a given vector of floating-point numbers pi. as well as algorithms for directed rounding. A special algorithm for computing the sign of s is given, also working for huge dimensions. Assume a floating-point working precision with relative round ing error unit eps. We define and investigate a Κ-fold faithful rounding of a real number r. Basically the result is stored in a vector Resv of Κ nonoverlapping floating-point numbers such that σ Resv approximates r with relative accuracy epsΚ, and replacing Resκ by its floating-point neighbors in Y. Resv forms a lower and upper bound for r. For a given vector of floating-point numbers with exact sums, we present an algorithm for calculating a Κ-fold faithful rounding of s using solely the working precision. Furthermore, an algorithm for calculating a faithfully rounded result of the sum of a vector of huge dimension is presented. Our algorithms are fast in terms of measured computing time because they allow good instruction-level parallelism, they neither require special operations such as access to mantissa or exponent. they contain no branch in the inner loop. nor do they require some extra precision. The only operations used are standard floating-point addition, subtraction, and multiplication in one working precision, for example, double precision. Certain c onstants used in the algorithms are proved to be optimal. © 2008 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.en1095-7197SIAM journal on scientific computing2008212691302SIAMΚ-fold accuracyDirected roundingDistillationError analysisError-free transformationsFaithful roundingHigh accuracyMaximally accurate summationRounding to nearestSignXBLASInformatikMathematikAccurate floating-point summation part II: Sign.
