It's our second **live meeting** this year!

**About the presentation:**
Whenever we see fractionals we automatically pick the floating-point (FP) data types, such as float or double. However, is it always optimal? What other choices we have? Are there any other standards than the IEEE 754 FP? In this talk I’ll present such topics as:

* Brief intro to the FP IEEE 754 standard, its pros, cons and pitfalls.
* How can we compress floating point data – shorter formats, lossless & lossy compressions, new ZFP and SZ methods and their use in C++.
* A new kid on the block – the POSIT arithmetic and how to use it.
* Intro to the relevant C++ libraries and – as always – a lot of practical examples.

**Presented** by prof. Boguslaw Cyganek
**Language**: English
**Location**: AGH C6 - Centrum Energetyki, lecture room 402.2 (same room as in May)

The sponsor of the event is Novomatic Technologies Poland providing quality practical solutions — from distributed systems, game design, and implementation to software platform delivery — for customers all over the world. At NOVOMATIC, C++ is one of the most favorite choices.
