Quadruple jump controversy important. It's good for me to keep challenging myself. I can't hold back on anything, and taking chances is what sports are about." Plushenko's program was more ambitious and risky with the quadruple toe/ triple toe loop, while Lysacek did not even attempt the quad as a single jump "at the biggest moment on skating's biggest stage." Sports journalist Kevin Blackistone wrote: "What has unfolded at the Vancouver Winter Games in figure skating would be the equivalent of not crediting Shaun White for his double McTwist in the half pipe and rewarding less ambitious snowboarders for getting the basics perfect."
Quadruple-precision floating-point format "128-bit FPUs" that implement SIMD instructions, such as Streaming SIMD Extensions or AltiVec, which refers to 128-bit vectors of four 32-bit single-precision or two 64-bit double-precision values that are operated on simultaneously. Quadruple-precision floating-point format In computing, quadruple precision (or quad precision) is a binary floating-point-based computer number format that occupies 16 bytes (128 bits) in with precision more than twice the 53-bit double precision. This 128-bit quadruple precision is designed not only for applications requiring results in higher than double precision, but also, as a primary function, to allow the computation of double precision results more reliably and accurately
