As defined by the IEEE 754 standard, floating-point values are represented in three fields: a significand or mantissa, a sign bit for the significand and an exponent field. The exponent is a biased ...

The term floating point is derived from the fact that there is no fixed number of digits before and after the decimal point; namely, the decimal point can float. There are also representations in ...

Floating-point arithmetic is used extensively in many applications across multiple market segments. These applications often require a large number of calculations and are prevalent in financial ...

We don't know about you, but every so often when we're reading about some wonderful new trickery in a videogame - be it graphics, audio, networking, you name it - we're forced to fire up another web ...

A technical paper titled “FlutPIM: A Look-up Table-based Processing in Memory Architecture with Floating-point Computation Support for Deep Learning Applications” was published by researchers at ...

“Compared to competing solutions, only System Generator for DSP provides developers with a bit accurate solution, meaning we can guarantee that the simulation model will match the hardware ...

If you want a CPU that has the floating point performance of a GPU, all you have to do is wait six or so years and the CPU roadmaps can catch up. This seems like a long time to wait, which is why so ...

The traditional view is that the floating-point number format is superior to the fixed-point number format when it comes to representing sound digitally. In fact, while it may be counter-intuitive, ...

Hardware floating point can be attractive in many embedded applications where integer or fixed point algorithms produce either overflow/underflow or u ...
