Quadruple-precision floating-point format
text:
In computing, quadruple precision is a binary floating-point–based computer number format that occupies 16 bytes with precision at least twice the 53-bit double precision. This 128-bit quadruple precision is designed not only for applications requiring results in higher than double precision, but also, as a primary function, to allow the computation of double precision results more reliably and accurately by minimising overflow and round-off errors in intermediate calculations and scratch variab
