Various ways to split a floating-point number

Participant : Paul Zimmermann.

Together with Claude-Pierre Jeannerod and Jean-Michel Muller (AriC project-team), we revisited in an unified way the classical algorithms to split a floating-point number in two parts, and some applications of these algorithms. Some new algorithms were also designed. This work was presented at the 25th IEEE Symposium on Computer Arithmetic [10].
