Abstract
Methods and systems for determining whether an infinitely precise result of a reciprocal square root operation performed on an input floating point number is greater than a particular number in a first floating point precision. The method includes calculating the square of the particular number in a second lower floating point precision; calculating an error in the calculated square due to the second floating point precision; calculating a first delta value in the first floating point precision by calculating the square multiplied by the input floating point number less one; calculating a second delta value by calculating the error multiplied by the input floating point number plus the first delta value; and outputting an indication of whether the infinitely precise result of the reciprocal square root operation is greater than the particular number based on the second delta term.
