FLOATING POINT TEST AREA


The same Matlab program can give different results on different platform !!!

This site provides a benchmark tool.

  • Download fermat.m, flttest.m, flttest1000

  • start Matlab or Octave and run flttest and flttest1000


  • compare Your FLT-Results with existing ones from

    http://pub.ist.ac.at/~schloegl/matlab/fermat/

    If the result is different or does not exist, then

  • send the file "platform_version".txt to <alois.schloegl@gmail.com>

    List of Files:

    fermat.m calculates FLT numbers

    flttest.m Calculates the accuracy of floating point operations

    based on calculating Numbers of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT)

    flttest1000.m extended calculations
