Is it possible to use long double numbers (80 bit floating point extended precision) in the Windows HPC Server?
Is it possible to use long double numbers (80 bit floating point extended precision) in the Windows HPC Server?
Is it possible to use long double numbers (80 bit floating point extended precision) in the Windows HPC Server?
According to my knowledge the only tool which I can use is Intel C++ compiler with the following options /fp:source /Qlong-double /Qpc80.
Is there any way to get extended precision in Visual C++?
Are there any other (different than Intel C++ compiler) tools/compilers/libraries which can give me extended precision on Windows HPC?

- it's possible to use them on HPC server, but the compiler does not support them. If you do not want to change compilers you may be able to find a 3rd party math lib that does this, or if you want you can try to use inline assembly.
bing "extended precision math library" and maybe you will find sometihng useful.
