Flush Denorms to Zero

Denormalized numbers ("denorms") are extremely small numbers (less than 1.2-38 for single precision or 2.2e-308 in double precision) which are handled poorly on most modern archicectures. Arithmetic involving denorms can be up to 100x slower than arithmetic on standard floating point numbers. Denorms can also give annoying behavior, like overflowing when you take their reciprocal.

This package implements a single function to flush denorms to zero in float32 and float64 numpy arrays using SSE instructions.
