System to improve numereical conversions and associated methods |
| 摘要 |
A system to improve numerical conversion may include a data processor and a controller configured to convert a floating-point number from the data processor to more than one different floating-point type number. The conversion may enable the selection of the more than one different floating-point type number that satisfies the requirements of an executing application and/or is closest to the original number. |

1. A system comprising:
a data processor; an executing application; and a controller configured to convert an original floating-point number from the data processor to more than one different floating-point type number and present the more than one different floating-point type number to the executing application; and wherein the executing application selects one of the more than one different floating-point type number that at least one of satisfies the requirements of the executing application and is closest to the original floating-point number. |
