Quadruple-precision floating-point format special characteristics: In addition to the double-double arithmetic, it is also possible to generate triple-double or quad-double arithmetic if higher precision is required without any higher precision floating-point library. They are represented as a sum of three (or four) double-precision values respectively. They can represent operations with at least 159/161 and 212/215 bits respectively. A similar technique can be used to produce a double-quad arithmetic, which is represented as a sum of two quadruple-precision values. They can represent operations with at least 226 (or 227) bits. Quadruple precision is often implemented in software by a variety of techniques (such as
Double (volleyball) and indicates outstanding all-around individual performance. Quadruple-double is defined as an individual performance in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in four of the five major statistical categories--aces, kills, blocks, digs, and assists--during the course of one match. Because of specialization by position (setters, liberos, middle blockers, outside hitters, opposite hitters, defensive specialists, etc.), quadruple doubles are seldom seen at collegiate or professional levels. Quintuple-double is defined as an individual performance in which a player accumulates a double digit number total in all five statistical categories (aces, kills, blocks, digs, and assists) in a single match. Such
