Are there any plans to add support for decimal floating point arithmetic, as defined in the 2008 revision of the IEEE 754 standard [0], in numpy?
Not at the moment. There is currently no hardware
Strictly speaking, there is hardware support on some high end hardware (power6, but I have no idea how this is available through common languages, like C or Fortran. I guess this would be compiler specific. A software implementation would be much more interesting at this stage, as I guess it will takes years before support comes to commodity CPUs. cheers, David
