| Introducing Steve Richfield, who has just de-lurked on comp.arch.arithmetic to lead a plausible crusade to revise venerable IEEE 754 with several neglected facilities.

He calls it smart memory and, if he attracts the right kind of encouragement (HPC community?) we should be hearing a lot more about it. |
