  Version 8 of proposed patch.

Renamed ln2_32hi2 and ln2_32lo2 to be ln2_64hi and ln2_64lo.
Revised comments to more accurately describe these constants.
Revised constants t2, t3, t4, t5 to better match values of 1/n factorial.
Change eliminated 1 ulp error in 942 tests out 40 million values tested.

Version 7 of proposed patch.

Fixed formatting issue in sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_exp.c

Version 6 of proposed patch.

Fixed error in patch revision.
Cleaned up formatting of return () and location of '+' for line breaks.
Fixed comments in eexp.tbl. Adjusted 3 values in eexp.tbl to be correctly
rounded in ulp as computed by quad precision.

Modified e_exp.c and eexp.tbl to use table of 64 intervals instead of
32 intervals for computing exp(x). That change reduced the differences
from the prior ieee754 exp(x) to 16 in 10,000 from 29 in 10,000. Also
reduced the make check differences for exp to 1 from 3. No observed
change in performance for using the larger table on either x86 or Sparc.

Version 5 of proposed patch.

Cleaned up formatting of comments and braces.
Returned to single patch for submission.

Version 4 of proposed patch.

New comments revised to use GNU standard comment formating.
Limited comment added in eexp.tbl for TBL[]. The original src
used for porting to Linux did not have a comment about TBL[].
The new comment is limited to the current worker's level of
understanding.

The (-xx.x > threshold2) case is changed to return force_underflow.
For FE_TONEAREST, tiny*tiny will always be zero but for
FE_UPWARD, it will be the smallest representable value.

That change caused no change in the math test results for Sparc or x86.

Version 3 changes

All hex constants in version 2 replaced with C99 double hex constants,
allowing Big Endian and Little Endian versions to be merged.
Only e_exp.c and eexp.tbl changed from version 2.
Minor changes in performance results due to system noise.
No other changes from version 2.

Version 2 of proposed patch.
Revised copyright notice and formatting issues.
Removed slowexp.c and related references.
Replaced tables of double constants with hex constants, taking special
  attention to correctly handle little endian and big endian versions.
  Using hex initialization also required changing variables to be declared
  as unions.  Tables moved from e_exp.c to sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/eexp.tbl.
Replaced __fegetround(), __fesetround() with get_rounding_mode and
  libc_fesetround().
Removed use of "small". "inexact mode" now ignored.
Retested and rebenchmarked on sparc and x86 with the above changes.

These changes will be active for all platforms that don't provide
their own exp() routines. They will also be active for ieee754
versions of ccos, ccosh, cosh, csin, csinh, sinh, exp10, gamma, and
erf.

Typical performance gains is typically around 5x when measured on
Sparc s7 for common values between exp(1) and exp(40).

Using the glibc perf tests on sparc,
      sparc (nsec)    x86 (nsec)
      old     new     old     new
max   17629   395    5173     144
min     399    54      15      13
mean   5317   200    1349      23

The extreme max times for the old (ieee754) exp are due to the
multiprecision computation in the old algorithm when the true value is
very near 0.5 ulp away from an value representable in double
precision. The new algorithm does not take special measures for those
cases. The current glibc exp perf tests overrepresent those values.
Informal testing suggests approximately one in 200 cases might
invoke the high cost computation. The performance advantage of the new
algorithm for other values is still large but not as large as indicated
by the chart above.

Glibc correctness tests for exp() and expf() were run. Within the
test suite 3 input values were found to cause 1 bit differences (ulp)
when "FE_TONEAREST" rounding mode is set. No differences in exp() were
seen for the tested values for the other rounding modes.
Typical example:
exp(-0x1.760cd2p+0)  (-1.46113312244415283203125)
 new code:    2.31973271630014299393707e-01   0x1.db14cd799387ap-3
 old code:    2.31973271630014271638132e-01   0x1.db14cd7993879p-3
    exp    =  2.31973271630014285508337 (high precision)
Old delta: off by 0.49 ulp
New delta: off by 0.51 ulp

In addition, because ieee754_exp() is used by other routines, cexp()
showed test results with very small imaginary input values where the
imaginary portion of the result was off by 3 ulp when in upward
rounding mode, but not in the other rounding modes.  For x86, tgamma
showed a few values where the ulp increased to 6 (max ulp for tgamma
is 5). Sparc tgamma did not show these failures.  I presume the tgamma
differences are due to compiler optimization differences within the
gamma function.The gamma function is known to be difficult to compute
accurately.

Are you planning to work on the log implementation as well?

log, log10, pow, cbrt are on my short list of functions to investigate
as these all show significant performance advantage (1.8x or greater)
using the Solaris Studio libm functions vs the Linux libm functions in
the preliminary testing I did months ago. I intend to take these one
at a time, first with a trial port and extensive accuracy and perf tests.

Assuming the performance advantage applies across multiple platforms
and accuracy does not suffer to an unacceptable degree, I will
propose each in turn for patching. "log" is my next target, likely
with log10 following close behind. I'll also look at the 32 bit functions
to see if they offer similar opportunities, but I haven't written/run those
tests yet. I don't have plans to work on 80 bit or 128 bit (long double)
functions at this time.

As always, the above is not a formal commitment as my management
may redirect efforts to meet other corporate goals.
My background project right now is supporting Vladimir Mezentsev's
work on improving accuracy and range of complex divide.
By range, I mean the range of input values which currently cause
overflow/underflow but don't need to with appropriate scaling.

Sure, I won't hold you to it :)

To expand on the logic for such a change:

If the values were previously not 1/n! presumably they were coefficients 
in some form of minimax approximation minimising the maximum error 
(however measured) in the interval used in the original implementation.

The maximum error from just using 1/n! would be at the endpoints of the 
interval (whereas a minimax approximation using an nth degree polynomial 
would have equal maximum errors with alternating signs at n+2 points - 
increasing some errors closer to 0 to decrease those at the endpoints).

You've changed the code to use a narrower interval.  Thus, the original 
minimax approximation is no longer optimal for the new interval, and it's 
quite plausible that the maximum error from using 1/n! is smaller when you 
restrict to the new interval.

This patch version is OK.

You are correct that the original values for t2-t5 give better results
for the original 64 table entries.

I investigated your suggestion by comparing the prior values for t2-t5
with the 1/n! values on the prior interval size. My test of 10 million
values in 4 rounding modes showed substantially better results with
the prior values. All estimates of error rates based on 10 million
test values run in with each of the usual 4 rounding modes. Differences in
error rates between rounding modes were less than 1%.

Original Studio values: 29.5 of 10,000 tests off by 1ulp
1/n! for t2-t5        : 39.2 of 10,000 tests off by 1ulp
org studio t2-t5/128 intervals: 16.3 of 10,000 tests off by 1ulp
1/n! for t2-t5, 128 intervals : 16.1 of 10,000 tests off by 1ulp

That suggests we might be able to further reduce the error rate
either by refining the values for t2-t5 or by increasing the
interval table to use 256 values instead of 128.
I don't have any strong basis for making further tradeoffs
of possible small accuracy gains vs perf costs. I suspect
such effort is beyond the current accuracy expectations
for most users of Linux libm, but that issue might be
revisited at some time in the future as part of a total
review of libm accuracy goals.
