I want to use the extended and extendable precision defined in the IEEE 754 standard for representing decimal numbers using 64 bit in MATLAB 7.11 (R2010b).
The normal level of precision for the radix 10 64 bit format is only 16 digits. The Standard states that the precision for the radix 10 64 bit format can be extended to 22 digits, which would enable greater quantization present in the data. Does MATLAB support this extension, and if so, how do we implement it and what are the consequences in processing time.
