Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I seem to recall an MMbasic port that used the hardware floating point on a processor. Anyone know if this exists?

MMX and Armmite both use double precision H/W floating point but there is relatively little advantage over and above the clock speed advantage as the time taken to parse dominates the execution.Edited by matherp 2018-08-07
