Anyone interested in working on FP emulation (or checking the
shortcuts DEC made when then designed the Alpha) might like to
check out <http://www.netlib.org/fp/ucbtest.tar.gz>:
UCBTEST is a suite of programs for testing certain difficult cases of
IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic. Some of the difficult test cases are
obtained from number-theoretic algorithms developed by Turing Award winner
Prof. W. Kahan, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,
University of California, Berkeley, as part of ongoing research into test
methods for computer arithmetic.
