Floating-point number LISP
1991
Software, Practice & Experience
A floating-point-number-oriented LISP has been developed. Though it performs type checking on every numeric operation, it runs as fast as Fortran for simple differential-equation problems. This paper describes the implementation, provides some measurements of its efficiency, and discusses the feasibility of this type of implementation. KEY WORDS Floating-point arithmetic LISP Symbolic computation DATA REPRESENTATION In Real Number Lisp, all numbers are represented in double-precision format.
