Chapter 2, Problem 2.86HW
Intel-compatible processors also support an “extended-precision” floating-point format with an 80-bit word divided into a sign bit, k = 15 exponent bits, a single integer bit, and n = 63 fraction bits. The integer bit is an explicit copy of the implied bit in the IEEE floating-point representation. That is, it equals 1 for normalized values and 0 for denormalized values. Fill in the following table giving the approximate values of some “interesting” numbers in this format:
| Extended precision | ||
| Description | Value | Decimal |
| Smallest positive denormalized | _________ | _________ |
| Smallest positive normalized | _________ | _________ |
| Smallest positive normalized | _________ | _________ |
This format can be used in C programs compiled for Intel-compatible machines by declaring the data to be of type long double. However, it forces the compiler to generate code based on the legacy 8087 floating-point instructions. The resulting program will most likely run much slower than would be the case for data type float or double.

n alternative to hexadecimal notation for representing bit patterns is dotted decimal notation in which each byte in the pattern is represented by its base ten equivalent. In turn, these byte representations are separated by periods. For example, 12.5 represents the pattern 0000110000000101 (the byte 00001100 is represented by 12, and 00000101 is represented by 5), and the pattern 100010000001000000000111 is represented by 136.16.7. Represent each of the following bit patterns in dotted decimal notation.
0000111100001111
001100110000000010000000
0000101010100000
Consider a hypothetical 8 bit floating point machine representation with a sign bit, a 3 bit exponent, and a 4 bit mantissa (se1e2e3b1b2b3b4), where the exponent bias is 3 (add 3 to exponent of number to form machine representation). Recall that actual mantissa has 5 bits, since the leading 1 is not stored on the machine.
(a) What is the number ?≈2.718 in this 8-bit format?
(b) What is the number that (10100111)2 represents in this 8-bit format?
(c) What is the upper bound of the relative error when representing a real number in this 8-bit format?
