Everything about Extended precision
Floating-point number formats
Extended precision refers to floating-point number formats that provide greater precision than the basic floating-point formats. Extended-precision formats support a basic format by minimizing roundoff and overflow errors in intermediate values of expressions on the base format. In contrast to extended precision, arbitrary-precision arithmetic refers to implementations of much larger numeric types using special software. Wikipedia →
