The GNU libc atanh is correctly rounded
2026-04-17The GNU C Library has updated its math functions to achieve fully correct rounding for the double-precision atanh operation, moving beyond the traditional 1 ULP accuracy target. This ongoing initiative provides strict numerical guarantees that are essential for designing reliable algorithms in critical fields like aerospace and medical simulations. While these highly accurate implementations perform well on modern CPUs, developers still face significant optimization challenges when adapting them for GPU and NPU architectures.
