Some Results Relevant to Choice of Sum and Sum-of-Product Algorithms

Sum and sum-of-product algorithms, some designed to minimize significance error, are compared and recommendations for usage are offered. A simplified method of rounding is presented and the benefit of using it demonstrated. Results are presented for the IBM 360 as well as the IBM 7040 computers with obvious application to some other machines.
