I have just one computation to run that requires more than 64 bits ... So getting a hand on such an architecture would be simpler that writing a library to access the Intel extended precision ... Moreover, I would have to always box the extended with a big speed penalty ... and my computation is long (count in month !) Thanks for any hint, Christophe Raffalli
