摘要:
As usual, the subtraction has more influence in the loss of the number of effectivedigits. In this paper an abstract probability model is constructed for the statisticalestimation of the accumulation of rounding errors. The formula S_2-S_1=Δm+(1/2)log_2(T_2V_2/T_1V_1)+1/(2N)log_2(C_2/C_1),which deseribes the matching relation among word lengh S, speed V and memory spaceC of the computer is derived, where T denotes the time of the calculation for a certainproblem, Δm≥0, N=1,2,3. By taking one computer as reference, the above formula canbe used to consider the relationship for a new computer. Some other formulae of thematching relations are obtained.
