Line 4: }} In [[computing]], '''octuple precision''' is a binary [[floating-point]]-based [[computer number format]] that occupies [[32]] [[byte]]s ([[256]] [[bit~~]]s or [[64]] [[nibble~~]]s) in computer memory. This [[256]]-[[bit]] octuple precision is for applications requiring results in higher than [[quadruple precision]]. This format is rarely (if ever) used and very few things support it. {{Floating-point}}
