Last month, Floating Points (aka UK producer Sam Shepherd) performed Promises — his 2021 collaborative album with the London Symphony Orchestra and the late Pharoah Sanders — live for the first time ...

It’s been about three years since Floating Points, the UK producer known to the government as Sam Shepherd, teamed up with the late Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra on the great album ...

An unfortunate reality of trying to represent continuous real numbers in a fixed space (e.g. with a limited number of bits) is that this comes with an inevitable loss of both precision and accuracy.

Multiplication on a common microcontroller is easy. But division is much more difficult. Even with hardware assistance, a 32-bit division on a modern 64-bit x86 CPU can run between 9 and 15 cycles.

Floating-point arithmetic is a cornerstone of numerical computation, enabling the approximate representation of real numbers in a format that balances range and precision. Its widespread applicability ...
