IEEE 754 does not specify how the signaling and quiet NaNs are distinguished. Table 15-3 uses the convention employed by PowerPC, the AMD 29050, the Intel x86 and I860, and the Fairchild Clipper: The most significant fraction bit is 0 for signaling and 1 for quiet NaN's. The Compaq Alpha, HP PA-RISC, and MIPS computers use the same bit to make the distinction, but in the opposite sense (0 = quiet, 1 = signaling).
