Posit is a new way of representing floating points in computers. This thesis investigates the precision of the 32-bit Posit floating point format compared to the current standard 32-bit IEEE 754 Float format by conducting tests with numerical methods. Posit was chosen due to its promising results in previous work. The numerical analytical methods that where chosen was the Least Square Method, Gauss Newton Interpolation Method, Trapezoid Method and Newton Raphsons Method. Results from the tests show that Posit32 performs at least as high precision as IEEE 754 Float on computations larger than a range of 1 and above but tends to increase precision up to three significant figures when moving towards a range of 0 - 1.Posit är ett nytt sätt att ...
