Unum (number format)

The unum (universal number) format is a floating point format proposed by John Gustafson as an alternative to the now ubiquitous IEEE 754 format. The proposal and justification are explained in his book The End of Error.

The two defining features of the unum format (while unum 2.0 is different) are:

  • a variable-width storage format for both the significand and exponent, and
  • an u-bit, which determines whether the unum corresponds to an exact number (u=0), or an interval between consecutive exact unums (u=1). In this way, the unums cover the entire extended real number line [−∞,+∞].

For performing computation with the format, Gustafson proposes using interval arithmetic with a pair of unums, what he calls an ubound, providing the guarantee that the resulting interval contains the exact solution.

Unum implementations have been explored in Julia. including unum 2.0 (or at least a modified version of his new proposal).

William Kahan and John Gustafson discussed unums at the Arith23 conference on 12 July 2016.
