Clear description of the referenced document:
|
|
|
|
Name:
|
IEEE 754-1985
|
|
Title:
|
IEEE 754 Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic.
|
|
|
2.
|
Status of approval:
|
|
|
This is a IEEE Standard published in 1985.
|
|
3.
|
Justification for the specific reference:
|
|
|
The document is considered stable and provides a complete description of binary floating-point arithmetic. It is not appropriate to include the full text of the IEEE 754. Rec. X.891 specifies the use of encoding algorithms for the binary encoding of floating-point numbers, thus Industry needs to be informed of where IEEE 754 originated as it was not defined by ISO or ITU-T.
