A solution for Smale's 17th problem, for the case of systems with bounded\ndegree was recently given. This solution, an algorithm computing approximate\nzeros of complex polynomial systems in average polynomial time, assumed\ninfinite precision. In this paper we describe a finite-precision version of\nthis algorithm. Our main result shows that this version works within the same\ntime bounds and requires a precision which, on the average, amounts to a\npolynomial amount of bits in the mantissa of the intervening floating-point\nnumbers.\n
