Compiler-Assisted Floating-Point Error Analysis and Profiling with FPChecker


June 22, 2026 Time: 9:00am - 1pm Europe/Berlin (half-day tutorial) Location: CCH – Congress Center Hamburg, Room: Hall X12 - 1st Floor Floating-point arithmetic is central to scientific computing, but small rounding effects can accumulate into significant numerical errors, especially when applications are ported to lower precision for performance and energy savings. This tutorial introduces compiler-assisted analysis tools built on the FPChecker framework (https://fpchecker.org/) and clang/LLVM to instrument C/C++ code and expose floating-point behavior.
