I do not think there are any limits along these lines in most modern
servers. They all have support for floating point math. If it is not
supported in hardware it is supported in software by the ANSI-C compiler
and libraries.

So the real issue becomes what are you trying to do and what are your
performance requirements? This would be more interesting to us and we
can probably provide better support if you explain what you are trying
to do.
