This paper presents principles and preferences for the implementation of computer arithmetic and ideals for the arithmetic facilities in future programming languages.the implementation principles and preferences are for the current approaches to the design of arithmetic units.The ideals are for the long term development of programming languages, with the hope that arithmetic units will be built to support the requirements of programming languages.
