In my case, the CPUs are identical (at least they should be - I should
double check the company who built them got it right), only the platforms
(and I guess the compilers used) are different. Do different platforms
get slightly different results for floating point division when using the
same CPU?
Sorry for my ignorance, the closest thing to this I've studied is MIPS
assembly.
Thanks,
