inadequate test vectors   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #99 of 148 |
The instructions for getting test vectors suggest running
timesoftfloat. However, that program was designed not to test the
accuracy of the results, just to test how long it takes softfloat to
do the arithmetic. For 32 bit operations it has a list of 32
different numbers. It applies the operation for all pairs of the
32X32 numbers -- you can ask for 100000 vectors, but you get 100
copies of the same 1024 argument values.

In addition, there are no vectors testing square root.

(This is after modifying the given timesoftfloat.c to even print the
values. As downloaded it didn't print anything but the time to do the
operations.)

I do not have the problem of no vectors testing the square root (a 100 in the third line of the text block), but I have the same repetition issue you mentioned...

... I skimmed the file timesoftfloat.c fpu_v19 and from John Hauser. The line: minIterations = 1000 is changed to minIterations = 100000 and there are some...
