Two-word square-root runtime #
The proved restoring loop computes the exact floor square root and remainder for a positive normal
input of any eligible two-word layout whose fraction has at most 124 bits and whose bias exceeds
the fraction width. Correctness proofs live in Sqrt.Proof.
Shift a normal significand by shift bits into four words.
Instances For
Try the fixed-word square root for one positive normal value.
The radicand is the significand shifted by fracWidth or fracWidth + 1 bits, chosen so that the
result exponent is integral, and the root is extracted with fracWidth + 1 base-four digits. The
kernel declines formats whose fraction exceeds 124 bits, outside the proved bound on the
two-word remainder state, and formats whose bias is at most the fraction width, outside the
hypotheses of the exponent lemmas in SqrtArithmetic. The dispatcher handles these cases.
Descriptor specialization follows the pattern described in Dispatch.Add.Runtime.
