Everything about Octuple-precision floating-point format
256-bit computer number format
In computing, octuple precision is a binary floating-point-based computer number format that occupies 32 bytes in computer memory. This 256-bit octuple precision is for applications requiring results in higher than quadruple precision. Wikipedia →
