# FPplus
Scientific library for high-precision computations and researchFPplus was originally developed for a research project on instructions to accelerate high-precision computations, but it is also useful as a general-purpose library. FPplus features:
- Header-only library for error-free transforms and double-double computations
- Implements error-free addition, multiplication, and fused multiply-add
- Implements double-double addition and multiplication in multiple variants
- Compatible with C99, C++, OpenCL, and CUDA
- Special versions of error-free transforms in SIMD intrinsics:
- x86 SIMD (128-bit and 256-bit AVX + FMA, 512-bit wide MIC and AVX-512)
- IBM VSX (POWER 7 and POWER 8) and QPX (Blue Gene/Q)
- ARMv8 SIMD
- Extensive documentation with references to scientific literature
- Testsuite based on [MPFR](http://www.mpfr.org/) and [Google Test](https://github.com/google/googletest)
- Examples and code-generators for high-precision algorithms:
- Polynomial evaluation with compensated Horner scheme
- Compensated dot product algorithm
- Inner kernel of matrix multiplication (GEMM) operation in double-double precision## Requirements
##### CPU targets:
- gcc-compatible compiler (tested on gcc, clang and icc)
- Hardware FMA support
- Precise floating-point semantics
- No `-ffast-math` option when compiling with `gcc` or `clang`
- `-fp-model precise` when compiling with `icc`##### OpenCL targets:
- `cl_khr_fp64`, `cl_amd_fp64`, or `cl_APPLE_fp64_basic_ops` extension
- Hardware FMA support (`FP_FAST_FMA` must be defined by OpenCL compiler)
- Precise floating-point semantics
- No `-cl-fast-relaxed-math` option##### CUDA targets:
- Compute capability 2.0 or higher## Using FPplus
