Gustafson is BACK with a shot across the IEEE754 bows! If you only use a subset of Posit2022 standard it can be 74% better than other Posit implementations!

Also one very specific part of the implementation "...matches or exceeds IEEE compliant 32-bit floating-point performance, offering faster and smaller area implementation, with slight increase in worst-case power due to higher speed."

We're worse only because we're faster!

Takum32 still better in most cases.

Integer linear programming (ILP) is one of those hammers where, once you learn to use it, you keep seeing nails everywhere.

Bitheaps, multiple constant mults, optimal merged arithmetic, etc

ILP is too good to leave with the Operations nerds. They've been hoarding one of the secrets of the modern world. Simplex > AI !
