Computers are about computations and every day we do additions, multiplications, etc. using the ubiquitous floating-point (FP) representation. Bogusław Cyganek will present the basics of FP representation and how to avoid some pitfalls such as under- and overflow, the catastrophic cancellations, and how the NaN can pop up. He will also talk if the std::accumulate is good for all accumulations and what can we gain launching std::transform_reduce with the std::execution::par? Then, what are the most accurate and the fastest summation methods and how easy it is to use them in our code. Finally, he will touch on such topics as accurate computation of the inner product of vectors and the fast matrix multiplication. Everybody is welcome!
