Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.2

    \[\left(x \cdot 3\right) \cdot y - z \]
  2. Simplified0.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x \cdot \left(3 \cdot y\right) - z} \]
    Proof
    (-.f64 (*.f64 x (*.f64 3 y)) z): 0 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error
    (-.f64 (Rewrite<= associate-*l*_binary64 (*.f64 (*.f64 x 3) y)) z): 19 points increase in error, 22 points decrease in error
  3. Taylor expanded in x around 0 0.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{3 \cdot \left(y \cdot x\right) + -1 \cdot z} \]
  4. Simplified0.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(3, y \cdot x, -z\right)} \]
    Proof
    (fma.f64 3 (*.f64 y x) (neg.f64 z)): 0 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error
    (fma.f64 3 (*.f64 y x) (Rewrite=> neg-mul-1_binary64 (*.f64 -1 z))): 0 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error
    (Rewrite<= fma-def_binary64 (+.f64 (*.f64 3 (*.f64 y x)) (*.f64 -1 z))): 14 points increase in error, 10 points decrease in error
