Not all optimizations will affect floating point accuracy, but some may. For example, an optimization that makes use of the associative property or distributive property can have an impact. This is the nature of the limited accuracy in floating point numbers. Another common example is the use of FMA (Fused Multiply Add) instructions. Although, using these instructions will most likely lead to better accuracy, since there is only one rounding error applied to the multiply and the add. > Is there any research work in this area? Yes, tons. Search for "floating point accuracy" and you will be sure to find research going way back. -Cameron
