In [[computing]], '''octuple precision''' is a binary [[floating-point]]-based [[computer number format]] that occupies 32 [[byte]]s (256 [[bit]]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.
