55 * Rough cbrt to 5 bits:
56 * cbrt(2**e*(1+m) ~= 2**(e/3)*(1+(e%3+m)/3)
57 * where e is integral and >= 0, m is real and in [0, 1), and "/" and
58 * "%" are integer division and modulus with rounding towards minus
59 * infinity. The RHS is always >= the LHS and has a maximum relative
60 * error of about 1 in 16. Adding a bias of -0.03306235651 to the
61 * (e%3+m)/3 term reduces the error to about 1 in 32. With the IEEE
62 * floating point representation, for finite positive normal values,
63 * ordinary integer divison of the value in bits magically gives
64 * almost exactly the RHS of the above provided we first subtract the
65 * exponent bias (1023 for doubles) and later add it back. We do the
66 * subtraction virtually to keep e >= 0 so that ordinary integer
67 * division rounds towards minus infinity; this is also efficient.

80 * New cbrt to 23 bits:
81 * cbrt(x) = t*cbrt(x/t**3) ~= t*P(t**3/x)
82 * where P(r) is a polynomial of degree 4 that approximates 1/cbrt(r)
83 * to within 2**-23.5 when |r - 1| < 1/10. The rough approximation
84 * has produced t such than |t/cbrt(x) - 1| ~< 1/32, and cubing this
85 * gives us bounds for r = t**3/x.
87 * Try to optimize for parallel evaluation as in k_tanf.c.

93 * Round t away from zero to 23 bits (sloppily except for ensuring that
94 * the result is larger in magnitude than cbrt(x) but not much more than
95 * 2 23-bit ulps larger). With rounding towards zero, the error bound
96 * would be ~5/6 instead of ~4/6. With a maximum error of 2 23-bit ulps
97 * in the rounded t, the infinite-precision error in the Newton
98 * approximation barely affects third digit in the the final error
99 * 0.667; the error in the rounded t can be up to about 3 23-bit ulps
100 * before the final error is larger than 0.667 ulps.
