@psztoch Love to have a brother in arms for this integration. The past six months we have been working mostly on integrations with computer aided engineering and simulation codes, and...
@allanleal looking forward to it. Hoping to learn from autodiff what type of number traits api you'll need to use these types.

@allanleal @supersega awesome! One of the big reasons for moving away from IEEE is numerical consistency of computational results. The other reasons, which are driven by the DL folks, is...
+1 I have been looking at autodiff to enhance it with the new tapered floating point system, called posits. Posits have a much higher accuracy for the same bit width...
@allanleal Thanks for the pointer. Still having some problems: First, I need to redefine dual inside the autodiff::forward namespace, which isn't appropriate Second, there is an implicit double conversion somewhere...
P.S. forgot to answer your hw question. We got 100TPOPS (Posit ops per sec) prototype hardware that was introduced in 2017. There are two RISC-V softcore processors that support posits,...
Issue #91 filed was looking at the elementary function support and see that they too are also pulled in from std, which would preclude them being picked up from the...
@supersega if you need a trait to be implemented by the number system lib, let me know and I will add. The number traits layer in universal is going through...
