Title
A Parameterized Floating-Point Formalizaton in HOL Light
Abstract
We present a new, open-source formalization of fixed and floating-point numbers for arbitrary radix and precision that is now part of the HOL Light distribution John Harrison. HOL Light: A tutorial introduction. In Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design, pages 265-269. Springer, 1996. We prove correctness and error bounds for the four different rounding modes, and formalize a subset of the IEEE 754 IEEE standard for floating point arithmetic. IEEE Std. 754-2008, 2008 standard by gluing together a set of fixed-point and floating-point numbers to represent the subnormals and normals. In our floating-point proofs, we treat phases of floating-point numbers as copies of fixed-point numbers of varying precision so that we can reuse fixed-point rounding theorems.
