these two publications should explain it: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666827021000633?via%3Dihub https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/artificial-intelligence/articles/10.3389/frai.2023.1144886/full going wider with DNNs for higher accuracy. let me know if you have more questions.

Huge integers I can understand (because sometimes you need results that are not just precise but exact), but what's the use for float1024? float256 would already have enough precision to represent measure the size of the observable universe at Planck length precision. I'm not saying there isn't a use for such a type, but I'm genuinely curious as to what that use is. -- Rainer Deyke - [email protected] _______________________________________________ Boost mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://lists.boost.org/mailman3/lists/boost.lists.boost.org/ Archived at: https://lists.boost.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/3KBA7AHE7ZOB6OQKTFHRDLXOSIGXC3ZJ/ _______________________________________________ Boost mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://lists.boost.org/mailman3/lists/boost.lists.boost.org/ Archived at: https://lists.boost.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/3PORE4XPNMOEMGPAD72ENF4PJSEYFR7B/
