# Possible future work in VCFloat | ||
|
||
- Common-subexpression elimination, by means of let-expressions, for the purposes of combining redundant deltas and epsilons | ||
- Automatically calculate annotations (Norm, Denorm, Sterbenz) | ||
- Allow relative/absolute errors on input variables | ||
- Allow generalized floating formats (double-double, etc.) | ||
- Allow flush-to-zero-on-underflow representations (i.e., without denormal numbers). | ||
Remark: In such formats, Sterbenz subtraction works only in the normal range. | ||
- Interval package could use hardware floats instead of synthesized, | ||
but only where extra precision is not neeeded | ||
- Make things a bit more efficient by better leveraging reflection and lemmas | ||
- Use the affine algorithm from FPTaylor | ||
- Avoid exponential blowup in prune_terms (might not be needed if we use the affine/FPTaylor algorithm) |
