Some (all?) PowerPC CPUs supports quadprecision nativly. Also few compilers like Intel Fortran compiler (but few others also) supports quad-precision (not sure if strictly IEEE754, but they do). There is also few (about 3), lightwaight and fast libraries for quad and octal precision using 2xdouble (or 4xfloat for old architecture) or 4xdouble, but they do not have only about 90% precision of real quad or octal floating point numbers. One of such libraries is QD and DDFUN90 library. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/91.213.255.7|91.213.255.7]] ([[User talk:91.213.255.7|talk]]) 03:16, 11 June 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
