Would't Quadruple be a better name?

Actually, no.

binary128 (AKA quadruple-precision) is defined in the IEEE-754 Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic as having 1 sign bit, 15 exponent bits, and 113 mantissa bits (1 bit is hidden). The problem is that no hardware imlementations exist, as yet.

The 'double-double' type uses the sum of two binary64 (AKA double-precision) values to represent a 106-bit value. The advantage is that double-precision is implemented in hardware, and so even though we need more operations - it is still faster than a software implementation of binary128.

I'll stop now, or I might as well write the rest of the article here... Smile | :)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

--Winston Churchill
