(More or less) accurate floating point algorithms

This crate provides several algorithms that implement highly accurate or even guaranteed correct sum and dot product for floating-point numbers without resorting to arbitrary precision arithmetic. These algorithms are available:

• Accurate sum and dot product, based on Ogita, Rump, and Oishi 05
• Online exact summation, based on Zhu and Hayes 10

Usage

Add the accurate crate as a dependency in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
accurate = "0.3"

Then use it in your program like this:

extern crate accurate;

use accurate::traits::*;
use accurate::sum::Sum2;

fn main() {
  let x = vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0];
  let s = x.sum_with_accumulator::<Sum2<_>>();
  assert_eq!(6.0f64, s);
}
