According to one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for numerically encoding and representing data that includes providing a representation of data and separating the representation into a scale header and an additional precision packet. Separating the representation includes identifying the location of the highest-order non-zero bit and encoding the location of the highest-order non-zero bit to form the scale header. The balance of the bits following the highest-order non-zero bit, or a truncated set of these bits, is encoded to form the additional precision packet, and a matched representation space (MRS) representation is composed of the paired data structures of a scale header and a corresponding additional precision packet, if any. |
