Explore: Roundoff Errors

estimate computation errors. Computation errors, also called numerical errors, include both truncation errors and roundoff errors. When a sequence of calculations

A roundoff is a move in gymnastics similar to a cartwheel, except the gymnast lands with two feet placed together on the ground instead of one foot at

at a time for i = 1, ..., n) has roundoff errors that grow at worst as O(εn). Kahan summation has a worst-case error of roughly O(ε), independent of n

The handling of roundoff errors increases the code complexity and execution time of AA operations. In applications where those errors are known to be

roundoff errors form a random walk). With compensated summation, using a compensation variable with sufficiently high precision the worst-case error bound

basic approach is to show that although the calculated result, due to roundoff errors, will not be exactly correct, it is the exact solution to a nearby

update equations, thus improving the numerical robustness against roundoff errors. The update can be implemented iteratively as: w k + 1 ( ℓ ) = C e

basic approach is to show that although the calculated result, due to roundoff errors, will not be exactly correct, it is the exact solution to a nearby

which is most likely due to both the use of integer coordinates and roundoff errors. Because Tgif uses Xlib (which predated modern Unicode support) Tgif

transformation from RGB to YCbCr, which is slightly lossy in practice because of roundoff error. JPEG XR specifies a lossless colorspace transformation, namely YCoCg-R
