Periodically Double or Triple Periodically Double or Triple Periodically Double or Triple is a song by American band Yo La Tengo, from their 2009 album "Popular Songs". The music video was directed by John McSwain, and features stop motion animation with pieces of fruit, interspersed with close-ups of various people eating fruit. "Stereogum" felt that it was "mellow" and "could have been written in the '60s", while "the Guardian" called it "strutting, tongue-in-cheek funk". "Pitchfork" faulted the lyrics as "reek(ing) of a distinct lack of confidence", but lauded the music, in particular the "out-of-nowhere elevator-music break". National Public Radio praised it as a "marvel
Quadruple-precision floating-point format implement nearly quadruple precision using "pairs" of double-precision values is sometimes called double-double arithmetic. Using pairs of IEEE double-precision values with 53-bit significands, double-double arithmetic can represent operations with at least a 2×53=106-bit significand (actually 107 bits except for some of the largest values, due to the limited exponent range), only slightly less precise than the 113-bit significand of IEEE binary128 quadruple precision. The range of a double-double remains essentially the same as the double-precision format because the exponent has still 11 bits, significantly lower than the 15-bit exponent of IEEE quadruple precision (a range of for double-double versus for
