xprec 0.2

xprec precision numpy extension

Library for double-double arithmetic calculation

Extension module for numpy providing the ddouble data type.

Loading this module registers an additional scalar data type ddouble with numpy implementing double-double arithmetic. You can use use the data type by passing dtype=xprec.ddouble to numpy functions.

The xprec.linalg module provides some linear algebra subroutines, in particular QR, RRQR, SVD and truncated SVD.

Installation

$ pip install xprec

Quickstart

import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, np.pi)

# import double-double precision data type
from xprec import ddouble
x = x.astype(ddouble)
y = x * x + 1
z = np.sin(x)

# do some linalg
import xprec.linalg
A = np.vander(np.linspace(-1, 1, 80, dtype=ddouble), 150)
U, s, VT = xprec.linalg.svd(A)
