Abstract

Error analysis is an important support for improving the precision of floating-point calculations. However, the floatingpoint error distribution does not have dominant characteristics, making it difficult to optimize floating-point calculation precision. This paper proposes the LFEE (Locating hot spots of floating-point expression errors) algorithm. The algorithm analyzes the error detection result of the expression to obtain the error hot spot, i.e., the step with the maximum error in the expression calculation sequence, followed by preforming precision optimization scheme for the error hot spot. The experimental results show that the LFEE algorithm can accurately locate the error hot spots and improve the accuracy of the function by optimizing the error hot spots.
