Hi !

I am new to this newsgroup and so I don't know if my question is a FAQ.

I would like to know more about how the properties of numerical algorithms
will impact the choice of whether to implement them in 32-bit or 64-bit
precision floating-point arithmetic. The main classes of algorithms I am
interested in are linear system solvers and eigensolvers. 

Please send me your comments and experiences. I will post a summary if
there is sufficient interest on this subject.

Thanks in advance !

HB
