Converting Integers to Floats Using Hyperfocus - Mara's Blog
3.3 parsecs away

Travel
| | A few years ago, due to some random chain of events, I ended up implementing a conversion from 128 bit integers to 64 bit floats. This would've turned out to be a complete waste of time, except that my final version is faster than the builtin conversion of every compiler I tested. In this blog post, I'll explain what happened, how floats work, how this conversion works, and how it got a bit out of hand.
