SAFE: Stochastic Arithmetic with Flexible Exponent

SAFE estimates rounding errors and detects numerical instabilities in programs using floating-point numbers with arbitrary mantissa-length and arbitrary exponent-length.

SAFE implements Discrete Stochastic Arithmetic.

It requires the FlexFloat library from https://github.com/oprecomp/flexfloat

SAFE enables the use of variables of type flexfloat_st<E,M> where E is the number of bits for the exponent and M is the number of physical bits for the mantissa, i.e. M=52 for binary64.
