Computer Systems - A Programmer's Perspective - Randal E. Bryant & David R. O'Hallaron

This quote was added by mariachi
Up until the 1980s, every computer manufacturer devised its own conventions for how floating-point numbers were represented and the details of the operations performed on them. In addition, they often did not worry too much about the accuracy of the operations, viewing speed and ease of implementation as being more critical than numerical precision.
