Computers operate on a single Floating point number that is essentially constant from each input pixel.

Floating point became a focus for the America Project, and IBM was able to use new algorithms developed in the early 1980s that could support 64-bit double-precision multiplies and divides in a single cycle.

The T1 only offered a single Floating Point unit to be shared by the 8 cores, limiting usage in HPC environments.

Floating point numbers are rational numbers because they can be represented as one integer divided by another.

Floating point operations are mostly addition, subtraction, and multiplication with enough digits of precision to model continuous phenomena such as weather prediction and nuclear simulations.

These problems are being mitigated by the expansion of SR-520 and the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, as well as the planned light rail service via East Link from Seattle to Redmond during the second phase of Sound Transit.

Floating topwater popper fly patterns and buzz baits are also popular for smallmouth fishing.

She swore an oath by the Styx that the Harpies would no longer harangue Phineus, and the Boreads then turned back to return to the Argonauts ; it is for this reason, according to Apollonius, that the " Floating Islands " are now called the Strophades, the " Turning Islands ".

These hydrophytes have small roots and are only found in slow-moving water with rich-nutrient level water Floating aquatic plants are a food resource for avian species.

There are several types of meringue, the sweetened, uncooked beaten egg whites that form the " islands " of Floating Island ( also known in French as île flottante ), the partly cooked toppings of lemon meringue pie and other meringue-topped desserts, and the classic dry featherweight meringue.

They are entertained with the usual college theatricals, including productions of William Strode's allegory The Floating Island ( with music by Henry Lawes ), which mocks William Prynne as the play-hating Melancholico ; George Wilde's Love's Hospital ; and William Cartwright's The Royal Slave ( also with music by Lawes, and design by Inigo Jones ).

Ice-marginal stream beds are in evidence in the small, narrow valleys where Floating Island Lake and Phantom Lake are found.

Floating weir skimmers are also used in these situation where temperature or the amount of oil on the water becomes excessive.

Floating cranes are used mainly in bridge building and port construction, but they are also used for occasional loading and unloading of especially heavy or awkward loads on and off ships.

Floating point numbers are used to describe numbers in excess of ' full ' white and black.

Floating bed and breakfasts for example are a concept originating in Seattle in which a boat or houseboat offers B & B accommodation.

The two towns are linked by the Cowes Floating Bridge, a chain ferry.

His shoulders are made from the front of an Eveready Floating Lantern.

The two towns are connected by the Cowes Floating Bridge, a chain ferry operated by the Isle of Wight Council which runs continuously between the two towns.

The wrecks of the U. S. Navy's Large Auxiliary Floating Dry Docks, AFDB-2 and AFDB-4, and an Imperial Japanese ship amongst others are located within the harbor.

There are two types of interest rates: Fixed and Floating.

Floating lanterns are sent down the river beginning at the Niwazuki Buddhist temple.

Among them are Measurement of the Circle, in which he worked out the value of pi ; The Method of Mechanical Theorems, on his work in mechanics ; The Sand Reckoner ; and On Floating Bodies.

In 1979, she was the subject of a National Film Board of Canada short documentary film My Floating World: Miyuki Tanobe, directed by Ian Rankin, Stephan Steinhouse and Marc F. Voizard.

Copley had also painted several large and heroic depictions of disasters at sea which Géricault may have known from prints: Watson and the Shark ( 1778 ), in which a black man is central to the action, and which, like The Raft of the Medusa, concentrated on the actors of the drama rather than the seascape ; The Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar, September 1782 ( 1791 ), which was an influence on both the style and subject matter of Géricault's work ; and Scene of a Shipwreck ( 1790s ), which has a strikingly similar composition.

Floating vegetation of C. papyrus had caused blockages in the Sudd swamps in a number of occasions between 1879 and 1900, when the plants were torn out by increased floods.

* " The Origin of Ambergris " excerpted from Floating Gold by Christopher Kemp

Floating Point is an album by John McLaughlin, released in 2008 through the record label Abstract Logix.

Yasujirō Ozu directed Good Morning ( 1959 ) and Floating Weeds ( 1958 ), which was adapted from his earlier silent A Story of Floating Weeds ( 1934 ), and was shot by Rashomon / Sansho the Bailiff cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa.

* Floating Storage Unit, floating vessel used by the offshore drilling industry for the storage of oil and gas

Floating point data is similarly packed into a word and handled by library.

Floating point was supported by peripheral options using various data formats.

* The IBM Floating Point Architecture ( until superseded by the IEEE 754-1985 floating-point standard, 20 years later )

While each convention is run separately by the local committee, an informal and self-selected group of volunteers constitute the " Permanent Floating Worldcon Committee " who volunteer for many Worldcons in different years ; this group offers a measure of institutional continuity to otherwise disparate legal organizations.

The Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar, September 1782, by John Singleton Copley

This was partly inspired by the difficulty Fisher observed at Yale of compiling for architectures like Floating Point Systems ' FPS164, which had a complex instruction set architecture ( CISC ) that separated instruction initiation from the instructions that saved the result, requiring very complicated scheduling algorithms.

* Floating Point Systems, a computer company founded in 1970 and later purchased by Cray Research

* Floating Interactive Display: at least two commercial systems ( Heliodisplay and FogScreen ) offer interactive " floating interfaces " which display an image projected in mid-air but can be interacted with by finger similar to a touch screen.

The 54th and last chapter " The Floating Bridge of Dreams " is sometimes argued to be a separate part from the Uji part by modern scholars.

The original course is held at a constant level by lock gates ( designed by Jessop ) and is known as the Floating Harbour.

The Floating Harbour is protected by a 1870s replacement for Jessop's locks.

As a result of this, the Floating Harbour is one of the more successful pieces of dockland regeneration, with much of the dockside now occupied by residential, office and cultural premises, and the water area heavily used by leisure craft.

The Floating Harbour gave the port an advantage by enabling shipping to stay afloat rather than grounding when the tide went down.
