Does anyone know of a good resource for algorithms on floating-point arithmetic? I tried Googling but didn't find anything useful.

Hello,

Have you a book on implementation of complex function (sin, cos, sqr etc..) with only floating point primitives (sum, sub, mult, div, shift...)?

Bye :roll:

Michael Flynn has a book talks a lot of floating point arithemtic.

https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/...103-8900713-2898269?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

If you can not afford to buy the book, you can go to his lab homepage. The book basically consists of research work during past many years. You can find dissertations of his Ph.D. students there.

Another good book is
Numerical Computing with IEEE Floating Point Arithmetic
https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/...f=sr_1_1/103-8900713-2898269?v=glance&s=books

You surely should understand floating point before you start to design a fp processor.
