The posit is a floating-point number format as proposed by John Gustafson to improve upon the accuracy of the IEEE-754 format, which is the standard today. The goal of this paper was to look specifically at matrix multiplication and examine how the posit format compared to the IEEE-754. The quire which is part of the posit standard was not included in this paper due to limitations. We used the library softPosit in Python to construct arrays of matrices referred to as matrix chains. These matrices were filled with numbers in one format and bit size at a time. These chains were then multiplied together with normal matrix multiplication, and then we compared the error of the two formats. An IEEE- 754 matrix chain with more bits than the ones b...
