A second example compares four root finding algorithms for locating the second
radius of an ellipse with first radius 28 and arc length 300, for four floating-point
types, float
, double
, long
double
and a Boost.Multiprecision
type cpp_bin_float_50
.
Which is to say we're solving:
4xE(sqrt(1 - 282 / x2)) - 300 = 0
In each case the target accuracy was set using our "recomended" accuracy limits (or at least limits that make a good starting point - which is likely to give close to full accuracy without resorting to unnecessary iterations).

Tests used Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 (Update 1) and GCC 4.9.1 using source code root_elliptic_finding.cpp.
The timing uncertainty (especially using MSVC) is at least 5% of normalized time 'Norm'.
To pick out the 'best' and 'worst' algorithms are highlighted in blue and red. More than one result can be 'best' when normalized times are indistinguishable within the uncertainty.
