PERT supplies a number of tools for management with determination of concepts, such as: float or slack is a measure of the excess time and resources available to complete a task. It is the amount of time that a project task can be delayed without causing a delay in any subsequent tasks (free float) or the whole project (total float).
Since 2 10 = 1024, the complete range of the positive normal floating-point numbers in this format is from 2 −1022 ≈ 2 × 10 −308 to approximately 2 1024 ≈ 2 × 10 308. The number of normal floating-point numbers in a system (B, P, L, U) where B is the base of the system, P is the precision of the significand (in base B),
Here we start with 0 in single precision (binary32) and repeatedly add 1 until the operation does not change the value. Since the significand for a single-precision number contains 24 bits, the first integer that is not exactly representable is 2 24 +1, and this value rounds to 2 24 in round to nearest, ties to even.
A resource-leveled schedule may include delays due to resource bottlenecks (i.e., unavailability of a resource at the required time), and may cause a previously shorter path to become the longest or most "resource critical" path while a resource-smoothed schedule avoids impacting the critical path by using only free and total float.

Floating point operations per second (FLOPS, flops or flop/s) is a measure of computer performance in computing, useful in fields of scientific computations that require floating-point calculations. [1] For such cases, it is a more accurate measure than measuring instructions per second. [citation needed]
For example, if the summands are uncorrelated random numbers with zero mean, the sum is a random walk, and the condition number will grow proportional to . On the other hand, for random inputs with nonzero mean the condition number asymptotes to a finite constant as n → ∞ {\displaystyle n\to \infty } .

In a subnormal number, since the exponent is the least that it can be, zero is the leading significant digit (0.m 1 m 2 m 3...m p−2 m p−1), allowing the representation of numbers closer to zero than the smallest normal number. A floating-point number may be recognized as subnormal whenever its exponent has the least possible value.
