Extending the precision of Woodstock or Saturn based calculators
I was wondering if someone made any inroads in extending the precision of the algorithms implemented in the woodstock or (could also be nut) saturn based machines.
Let me explain: Say the word is 32 nibbles long instead of 14 or 16. I now that it needs a new processor, so to say. And the P register and handling needs extension, and so on. Note: I am aware of the extended precision done to the 41, I read something about it here in the forums. But it not is implemented with extra long working registers, nor has more than 13 digits. What are your thoughts about it ? See it as an experiment. I am working on this parallel version of the woodstock core, and was wondering if one could achieve better precision by extension of the word and fixing of the algorithms. I wanted to test with square root, I think it is quite simple and I have an over look of it, it doesn't need extra routines (at least the saturn version). |
