ABSTRACT:
A method for storing standard IEEE floating point numbers in either a first or a second encoded format. In the first encoded format, the number has an 11-bit exponent, an 18-bit mantissa, a sign bit, and a two-bit identifier that identifies the manner that the IEEE number was encoded. In the second format, the number is stored as a 30-bit integer having a two-bit identifier.
