Learn about the life and achievements of William Kahan, a pioneer in floating-point computations and a consultant for Hewlett Packard and Intel. He received the Turing Award in 1989 for his fundamental contributions to numerical analysis and error-analysis of floating-point arithmetic.
1 de jun. de 2024 · William Kahan is a Canadian mathematician and computer scientist and winner of the 1989 A.M. Turing Award, the highest honour in computer science, for his “fundamental contributions to numerical analysis.”
Kahan was instrumental in creating the IEEE 754-1985 standard for floating-point computation in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He developed a program called "paranoia' in the 1980s to test for potential floating point bugs and developed the Kaham summation algorithm which helps minimize errors introduced when adding a sequences of finite ...
