For the JVM:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/2nd-edition/html/Concepts.doc.html#19511
"The floating-point types are float and double, which are conceptually
associated with the 32-bit single-precision and 64-bit
double-precision IEEE 754 values and operations as specified in IEEE
Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic, ANSI/IEEE Standard
754-1985 (IEEE, New York)."
