I asked in the Singular forum, how to change the exponent size for Singular:
https://www.singular.uni-kl.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2576 Is it transparent for overflow detection? > I don't understand the question. My question is, does overflow detection work correcly with different exponent sizes than 16 bit? Am Montag, 13.
