number systems research with FPBench, including implementation of posits

Project description

# Titanic

Titanic is a tool for designing and experimenting with novel computer arithmetic formats. It builds on the GNU MPFR library for arbitrary-precision arithmetic, providing additional support for low-level floating-point behaviors such as precise control of rounding and precision tracking.

Titanic uses the [FPCore](http://fpbench.org/spec/) benchmark format for floating-point computations. Reference interpereters are provided for the FPCore language using both [IEEE 754](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754) and [posit](https://posithub.org/index) arithmetics, as well as fixed-point. These interpreters can also interface with each other (and with custom user-defined arithmetics) to perform multiple precision, multiple format computations.
