Hi, After getting rather confused, I concluded that float128 on a couple of Intel systems I have, is in fact an 80 bit extended precision number:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_precision >>> np.finfo(np.float128).nmant 63 >>> np.finfo(np.float128).nexp 15 That is rather confusing. What is the rationale for calling this float128? It is not IEEE 754 float128, and yet it seems to claim so.
