[Numpy-discussion] assigning full precision values to longdouble scalars

2014-02-25 Thread Scott Ransom
Hi All, So I have a need to use longdouble numpy scalars in an application, and I need to be able to reliably set long-double precision values in them. Currently I don't see an easy way to do that. For example: In [19]: numpy.longdouble("1.12345678901234567890") Out[19]: 1.123456789012345691

If you use already vectorized functions (like special.iv) you often don't need to use vectorization() For example: - import numpy as num import scipy.special as special def funct(order, t, power): return special.iv(order, t)**power order = num.arange(4.0) ts = n

Hi David et al, Very interesting. I thought that the 64-bit gcc's automatically aligned memory on 16-bit (or 32-bit) boundaries. But apparently not. Because running your code certainly made the intrinsic code quite a bit faster. However, another thing that I noticed was that the "simple" code
