Subject: caml (special) light and numerics
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 1995 14:20:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9510131320.AA19150@crunch> (raw)
A suggestion for caml special light v1.07:
- on Linux (and other i386) systems, the runtime should be linked
with `-lieee' to enable IEEE arithmetic (`-mieee-fp' does the
same thing). This way the runtime will not abort on division by
0.0, but give the result `Infinity' instead. Predefined
constants for `Infinity' and `NaN' would be handy, but can be
prepared in the program.
Does anybody have numbers on how csl (in particular the new native
compiler) compares in performance to C++ or FORTRAN in numerical
applications (quadrature, ODEs, linear algebra, ...)?
Cheers,
-Thorsten
