Abstract

The presentation describes and demonstartes a package, which emulates computer arithmetic, usd for algorithmic rounding-error analysis. The package incorporates most of the standard functions in programming langauges like Fortran, C, and C++,  performs real and complex arithmetic, and provides all 
four IEEE roundings. 

To use the package, one first one transfers one's algorithm into Mathematica (the transferred-code), second, using functions in the package, one converts the numbers one wishes to test into computer numbers, and then uses the same transferred-code for computer-arithmetic and Mathematic's rational arithmetic 
to do an analysis; simple examples/algorithms illustrate this process.
