Log and Exp Support

Open serach24 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, I m wondering if log and exp would be supported for Posit? If I want to implement those myself, is there any official definitions? I checked the pdf links in README, but those only contain the specification of simple binary ops. There are also evaluation on the range of exact values of log/exp ops in the paper but I failed to find how log and exp are defined for posit.

Hi Serach24, The easiest way to implement log and exp is to use Taylor series. If you're still in Posit libraries, react to this comment.
