Re: DM42
I'm sure you'll hear about it here when it happens. It will be more than worth the wait!

From Intel lib's README:Thomas Okken wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2017 1:58 pmNitpick: 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.
How does Intel lib perform computations - in decimal or in binary format with conversions to decimal?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.
Re: DM42
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.

Re: DM42
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.
