I don't know that usage, I thought quires was a typesetting/printing

In posits, a quire is an accumulator with as many binary digits
as to cover max-exponent to min-exponent; so one can accumulate
an essentially unbounded number of sums without loss of precision
--to obtain a sum with a single rounding.

OK, I have seen and used "Super-accumulator" as the term for those, I 
have thought about implementing one in carry-save redundant form, but 
that might be more redundancy than really needed?

Having a carry bit for every byte should still make it possible to 
handle several additions/cycle, right?

I'm assuming the real cost is in the alignment network needed to route 
incoming addends into the right slice.

Not restricted to posits, I believe (but the term may differ).

At university, I had my programming
courses on a Pascal compiler which implemented
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlsruhe_Accurate_Arithmetic ,
a hardware implementation was on the 4361 as an option

Another newer alternative.  This came up on my news feed.  I haven't 
looked at the details at all, so I can't comment on it.

That is about another number representation for AI, trying to squeeze
more AI performance out of few bits.

Personally, I like the approach of doing analog calculation for
the low-accuracy dot products that they do, followed by an A/D
converter.  There is a company doing that, but I forget its name.

These would be very large registers. You'd need some way to store and load
the these for register spills, fills and task switch, as well as move
and manage them.

Karlsruhe above has a link to
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/370/princOps/SA22-7093-0_High_Accuracy_Arithmetic_Jan84.pdf

which describes their large accumulators as residing in memory, which
avoids the spill/fill/switch issue but with an obvious performance hit:

"A floating-point accumulator occupies a 168-byte storage area that is
aligned on a 256-byte boundary. An accumulator consists of a four-byte
status area on the left, followed by a 164-byte numeric area."

The operands are specified by virtual address of their in-memory accumulator.

Of course, once you have 168-byte registers people are going to
think of new uses for them.

Makes sense, given the time this was implemented.  This was also a
mid-range machine, not a number cruncher.  I do not find the
number of cycles that the instructions took.

But this was also for hex floating point.  A similar scheme for IEEE
double would need a bit more than 2048 bits, so five AVX-512 registers.

At the time, memory was just a few clock cycles away from the CPU, so 
not really that problematic. Today, such a super-accumulator would stay 
in $L1 most of the time, or at least the central, in-use cache line of 
it, would do so.

With 1312 bits of storage, their fp inputs (hex fp?) must have had a 
smaller exponent range than ieee double.

If I was implementing this I would probably want some redundant storage 
to limit carry propagation, so maybe 48 bits per 64-bit chunk, in which 
case I would need about 2800 bits or 6 of those 512-bit SIMD regs.

Writing this as a throughput task could make it fit better within a GPU?

IBM format had one sign bit, seven exponent bits and six or fourteen
hexadecimal digits for single and double precision, respectively.

Terje--IEEE is all capitals.

The span of an IEEE double "quire" would be the exponent-2 + fraction.
a) The most significant non-infinity has an exponent of +1023
b) The least significant non-underflow has an exponent of -1023
Leaving a span of 2046 bits plus 52 denormalized bits or 2098-bits
or 262 bytes.

One note: When left in memory, one indexes the accumulator with
the (exponent>>6) and fetches 2 doublewords. A carry out requires
accessing the 3rd doubleword (possibly transitively).

> (Insert fear and loathing for hex float here).

Heck, watching Kahan's notes on FP problems leaves one in fear of
binary floating point representations.

True, but... hex float is so much worse.

"Hacker's delight" has some choice words there, and the
author worked for IBM :-)

>(Insert fear and loathing for hex float here).

Burroughs Medium systems had four exponent sign bits, eight exponent bits,
four mantissa sign bits, and up to 400 mantissa bits.  BCD, so that's an
exponent range of -99 to +99 and a 1 to 100 digit mantissa.

Right, something like 2048+52+3 = 2103 bits for data, plus some status bits.
For x64 they could overlay it onto AVX-512 register file in groups of 5
and use existing SIMD instructions for management.
That would allow them to pack 3 accumulators into registers z0..z14.

For RISC-V they have the large vector registers, 32 * 256-bits each I think,
so again 3 accumulators.

So its a plausible proposition.

IIUC you can already implement such a thing with standard IEEE
operations, based on the "standard" Knuth approach of computing the
exact result of `a + b` as the sum of x + y where x is the "normal" sum
of a + b (and hence y holds the remaining bits lost to rounding).

I wonder how often this is used in practice.

Intuitively it should be possible to make it reasonably efficient, where
you first compute the "naive" sum but also keep the N remaining numbers
representing the bits lost to each of the N roundings.  I.e. you take in
a vector "as" of N numbers and return a pair of the "naive" sum plus
a vector of N rounding errors.

    Σ as => (round(Σ As), rs)
    such that round(Σ As) = the naive IEEE sum of as
          and Σ as = round(Σ As) + Σ rs

You can then recursively compute "Σ rs" in the same way.  At each step of
the recursion you can compute round(Σ |rs|) to estimate an upper bound
on the remaining error and thus stop when that error is smaller than
1 ULP or somesuch.

AFAICT, if your sum is well-conditioned you should need at most 2 steps
of the recursion, and I suspect you can predict when the next estimated
error will be too small before you start the last recursion, so the last
recursion might skip the generation of the last "rs" vector.

One thing I have thought of is a wiki of optimization techniques that
contains descriptions of the techniques and case studies, but I have
not yet implemented this idea.

Would it make sense to start something under Wikibooks on Wikipedia?  I 
have no experience with it myself, but it looks to me like a way to have 
a collaborative collection of related knowledge.  It could provide the 
structure and framework, saving you (plural) from having to set up a 
wiki, blog, or whatever.

Yes, I was thinking about that.  In the bookshelf on computer
programming <https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Shelf:Computer_programming>
there are two "Books nearing completion" that have "Opti" in the
title:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Optimizing_Code_for_Speed
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Optimizing_C%2B%2B

Looking at the contents of the former, it's rather short and
high-level, and I don't think it's intended for the kind of project we
have in mind.

The latter is more in the direction I have in mind, but the limitation
to C++ is, well, limiting.
