Abstract
All arithmetic operations can be decomposed into an infinitely accurate calculation and a subsequent arithmetic rounding. The kind of rounding in use determines the properties of the whole arithmetic system. The article describes a tool for the analysis of the effects of rounding errors during arithmetic calculations in practical systems.
