GoFast® for 80196
Fast Floating Point Library
Features
- Supports Intel 80196 Compiler
- Conforms to IEEE 754
- Includes single and double precision
- "Link and Go" compiler support
- Includes test programs and make files
Description
GoFastŪ for 80196 is designed to allow programs developed for the Intel 80196
architecture to access high performance floating point numerics. Since the 80196 chip
does not include on-board floating point operations, GoFast utilizes high speed,
software floating algorithms. GoFast for 80196 provides "link and go" compatibility
with the Intel 80196 compiler. GoFast provides full IEEE and ANSI compatible
floating point support.
Floating Point Technology
GoFast for 80196 is based on U S Software's proven floating point algorithms the
company has been developing for over decade. The algorithms have been thoroughly
tested using automated methods. GoFast was specifically optimized and integrated for
high performance on 80196 processors.
GoFast libraries are designed for "link and go" operation with each supported
compiler.
Functionality
GoFast supports C runtime floating point including the following single and double
precision routines:
+ - * /
conversion operations
sqrt, sin, cos, tan
atan
log, log10, exp, xtoi
Additional support includes test programs and make files.
Compiler Support
GoFast for 80196 includes dropin libraries for "link and go", seamless operation
with the Intel 80196 compiler.
The GoFast routines directly replace the compiler's floating point runtime library
routines. In addition, routines normally not supported by the compiler are available with
GoFast. An example might be the double precision version of the functions.
GoFast Support
U S Software maintains a test lab where comprehensive confidence tests are
performed on GoFast in each target environment. A demonstration test program is
included with your product delivery, and you are encouraged to run it on your own target
hardware to verify system operation. Phone and fax support are provided with the
product. Extended support is also available.
