  • Abstract
    Ada supports two different schemes for floating-point arithmetic portability - one based on the use of the underlying machine arithmetic and the other based on the ´model arithmetic´ that the underlying machine supports. Features of both schemes are explained in the context of their suitability as bases for the production of portable numerical software.
