Is this where I should post to subscribe to a "The DM42 has been released" type notification?

I don't think there is such a thing!

I'm sure you'll hear about it here when it happens. It will be more than worth the wait!

Nitpick: It's the Intel Decimal Floating-Point Math Library -- Decimal, not BCD. BCD is a specific way of encoding decimal in binary, with each digit being encoded using a group of four bits, and the Intel library uses a different, more efficient, encoding internally.
From Intel lib's README:
The IEEE Standard 754-2008 for Floating-Point Arithmetic supports two
encoding formats: the decimal encoding format, and the binary encoding format.
The Intel(R) Decimal Floating-Point Math Library supports primarily the binary
encoding format for decimal floating-point values, but the decimal encoding
format is supported too in the library, by means of conversion functions
between the two encoding formats
.
How does Intel lib perform computations - in decimal or in binary format with conversions to decimal?

Mostly in binary but some in decimal. From what I've seen thus far (which isn't a lot), a binary approximation is used followed by a decimal refinement.

The plan is to release the DM42 some time in Q4 2017 and we're in Q4 now. So yes, we are getting close to production-ready status.
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who do not.

Sick. I've been waiting since I found out about it a couple of months ago, and am excited to see it. I also hope to get it as a late birthday present for my father
