  • Abstract
    The author suggests that every computer with floating-point addition and subtraction should have PSW control able roundoff facilities. Yohe´s catalog should be included. There should also be a stable roundoff mode using the round-to-off or round-to-even rule based on whether the radix is divisible by four or only by two.
