How to use

The Universal library provides a low-friction environment to start exploring alternatives to IEEE floating-point in numerical algorithms, and alternatives to integers for crypto algorithms.

The basic use pattern is as simple as:

#include <universal/number/posit/posit.hpp>

template<typename Real>
Real MyKernel(const Real& a, const Real& b) {
    return a * b;  // replace this with your kernel computation
}

constexpr double pi = 3.14159265358979323846;

int main() {
    using Real = sw::universal::posit<32,2>;  

    Real a = sqrt(2);
    Real b = pi;
    std::cout << "Result: " << MyKernel(a, b) << std::endl;
  
}

All the number systems reside in the namespace sw::universal, and can be brought into your application by including the number system header file located in $UNIVERAL_ROOT/include/universal/number/...
