Problem: How to Represent and Use Data?
1. Representation

TI1400/11-PDS

The Y2K Problem/The Millenium Bug (2000)
Representation (Gone Wrong)
• Abbreviating the year as two-digits instead of four
-
99 instead of 1999
00 instead of 2000
Cost saving (space is money)
How to represent 2096?
98 < 99, but 99 < 00?!
• Problem identified by Spencer Bolles in 1985
- Y2K acronym used by David Eddy in 1995
• $150B in US (IDC estimate)

The FDIV Problem (1993)
Arithmetic (Gone Wrong)
• 4195835.0/3145727.0 = 1.333 820 449 136 241 002 5
4195835.0/3145727.0 = 1.333 739 068 902 037 589 4
• Pentium used the radix-4 SRT algorithm (which is fast)
• “The [problem] can be traced to five missing entries in a
lookup table”
• Solution: recall defective processors ($350M) or
scale operands and use 80-bit extended-precision internal
Pentium format (formats are discussed in this lecture)
• … oh, and hardware errors still happen (latest, Intel’s Cougar/
Sandy Chipsets in February 1, 2011—est. cost $700M)

Ariane 5 (1996)
Conversion (Gone Wrong)
June 4, 1996: Ariane 501 Satellite Launch
explodes 40s into the flight sequence
Cost: $370M
“The internal SRI* software exception was
caused during execution of a data
conversion from 64-bit floating point to 16bit signed integer value. The floating point
number which was converted had a value
greater than what could be represented by a
16-bit signed integer.” Inquiry Board Report

Definition and Representation
Integers (Z) = Set of natural numbers including 0
and their non-zero negatives
Integer numbers are generally represented by:
• An alfabet 
• A string X of n elements from : Xn  n
• Applying Xn to a valuation function F
- signature: F : n  Z

• Represent n-bit in k-bit number
• If k>n, extend sign bit to the left
• If k<n,
- n-k+1 bits equal, remove lefmost n-k bits
- if not, overflow
• Example: n=6, k=4
4 = 000100 -> 0100

Can conversion between decimal and

a. integers ?
b. fractions ?

Answer
a) Can conversion between decimal and binary
numbers always be done exacly in integers?
-> Yes
b) Can conversion between decimal and binary
numbers always be done exacly in fractions?
-> No

2.2. Floating Point (1)
• Need a represention for:
- very large numbers
- real numbers
• With a limited number of bits
• Floating point notation:
G = m.re
r = radix
m = mantissa, significant, or fraction
e = exponent
50
TI1400/11-PDS
TU-Delft
2.2. Floating Point (2)
• r is normally 10 or 2
• mantissa m is normalized: (1/r) ≤ m < 1
- e.g., if r = 2 then 0.5 ≤ m < 1
- e.g., if r = 10 then
6.543 x 1010 is normalized, 654,300 x 105 is not
• Normalization is used to save as much as possible
significant digits
51
TI1400/11-PDS
TU-Delft
2.2. Floating Point
Fixed or Floating Point?
• Metrics
- Range = ratio largest:smallest number
- Precision = how many significant bits for representation
• Floating point idea: separate the exponent from the
mantissa. Vs Fixed point:
- Wider range (through exponent)
- Lower precision (mantissa has fewer bits)
• There’s no free lunch in computer science!

Birth of a Standard (IEEE 754)

- Correct FP
- Developers can write portable code AND prove correctness
