Many scientific and engineering problems rely on the numerical stability of the algorithms used, even with conventional "double precision" arithmetic operations. The development of techniques that are truly high precision is important to solve very compute-intensive problems, while an extreme solution is to implement "high precision" arithmetic as hardware. In this BOF, researchers working on high precision arithmetic techniques and applications will meet and present recent progress. We will also discuss on the future developments relevant to HPC.
