The DALI team is developing a unified research theme to improve the numerical quality and high performance of calculations. DALI allows the interaction, rare in France within the same team, of experts in micro-architecture and computer arithmetic. On the performance side, our work focuses on exploiting the ever-increasing computational potential of processors: path widening (vector micro-architecture), multiplication of cores (task parallelism), increased instruction parallelism. On the arithmetic side, the numerical quality of scientific computing applications and the operating safety of embedded applications depend crucially on the mastery of finite precision and floating-point arithmetic in particular. It is a question of controlling and certifying calculations (algorithms, codes) but also of optimising the precision of results. Many software applications, both scientific and embedded, need to improve numerical quality without sacrificing speed of execution. Thus, performance improvement and numerical quality come together.
