Should we not be having this discussion about the DM42 over at their place, to give them as much value from the beta testing as possible?

Guenter have already started a topic on there.

Quote:The Intel library provides all the functions Free42 needs; it doesn't just have arithmetic and square root, but also trigonometrics, hyperbolics, logarithms, and gamma. The new code uses all of these wherever possible, using the highest-precision format, decimal128.

The higher-level functionality, like complex numbers, matrices, numerical integration, and numerical root-finding, is still done using the same algorithms and code as before, but everything now uses the new library for the basic operations underneath.

So maybe it is a bug in free42 codebase not in the intel library ??
