NumPy QuadDType: Quadruple Precision for Everyone
Introducing the new data-type for Numpy providing cross-platform support of quadruple precision.
This project aims to address the long-standing issues with np.longdouble by offering a consistent, high-precision floating-point type regardless of the underlying system architecture with also providing backwards compatibility of long double. By addressing these various aspects - from low-level memory management to high-level NumPy integration and precise number representation - numpy_quaddtype provides a robust and flexible solution for high-precision arithmetic in Python. As we've demonstrated with our Mandelbrot set visualizations and quantum harmonic oscillator calculations, it's capable of handling demanding computational tasks that require high precision.
