\chapter{Progress Report}\label{Progress Report}

This chapter outlines the current state of our research in relation to the aims outlined in Chapter \ref{Introduction}.
\rephrase{It will serve as an explanation for where the Figures in Chapter \ref{Background} came from. It will just be a short summary of the implementation details}.

\section{Development of Testbed Software}

We wrote a very simple OpenGL 1.1 program to experiment with, and then David Gow converted it to OpenGL 3.1 and I have no idea how it works anymore.

\section{Design and Implementation of ``Tests''}
\begin{itemize}
	\item Compile by swapping out \verb/main()/ for a tester
	\item There are tests for doing some of the things in Chapter \ref{Introduction} but most still aren't written yet.
	
\end{itemize}

\section{Floating Point Number Representations}

\rephrase{I have\footnote{Ok... ``will have''} some figures that I would prefer to include in Chapter \ref{Background} when I am talking about the papers that inspired them.}
\rephrase{This section will probably briefly talk about how they were created and just refer back to them}.

\begin{itemize}
	\item \verb/calculatepi.test/
	\item \verb/typedef/ of \verb/Real/
\end{itemize}

\section{Virtual FPU}

Techniques for dealing with FP numbers can be implemented in software (CPU) or on dedicated hardware (FPU). We are able to run FP arithmetic on arbitrary simulations of FPUs created using VHDL. \rephrase{Hopefully explore this a bit in Chapter \ref{Background}}.

\section{Version Control}

Git is a distributed version control system widely used in the development of open source software\cite{}. All rescources created for or used by this project have been placed in git repositories on several servers. The repositories are publically accessable at \url{http://git.ucc.asn.au}
