Higher precision float (`real(128)` or `real(80)`)

Open mppf opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

As a Chapel user, I would like to have access to higher precision floating point numbers that are supported by hardware. For example real(80) or real(128) are already supported by different hardware platforms. I would like to be able to implement certain floating point operations using higher precision, just as I choose between real(32) and real(64) today.
