Title: ELEFUNT test results under AST Fortran V1. 8. 0 on the Sequent Symmetry

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6686300· OSTI ID:6686300

This report discusses testing of the floating-point arithmetic and of the elementary function libraries under AST Fortran on a 24-processor Sequent Symmetry computer. The programs MACHAR and PARANOIA were used to check the quality of arithmetic, and the ELEFUNT suite of programs from the book Software Manual for the Elementary Functions by Cody and Waite was used to check function performance. Two complete sets of tests were run, one for each type of floating-point processor, Intel 80387 and Weitek 1167, on the machine. 11 refs., 4 tabs.
