As those of you interested in the bcd-thread might have guessed from my last post on it, I changed thoughts and am currently redoing it as an ICD-version. For that I thank (and give due credit to) Pete and Ricardo for their remarks and comments. It will still have the capability of importing and exporting BCD. The core however is fully integer-based. Some preliminary timings: (Not including conversion-timings, as they will only have to be done once at start and end of program, when working with ICD for EG accounting) Worst case mul 256digits*256digits: < 1 millisec, real-world case 32d*32d 20 microsec. Add 1000 32d numbers in one go: 225 microsec. Single add 1.5 microsec. Carries taking abt 90/100 and more of all time involved If this speed will be okay I'll do a lib, containing + , - , * , / , pwr and root2. If not up to expectations I'll quit and go on with my 2 major projects. antoine BTW, Kat, did you get my direct post? Why, if so, not replied at least with a 10-4 NTx O+O?
