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