This post sponsored by Texas Instruments. The TMS320C672x is the next generation of Texas Instruments' C67x generation of high-performance 32-/64-bit floating-point digital signal processors. The ...
Most of the algorithms implemented in FPGAs used to be fixed-point. Floating-point operations are useful for computations involving large dynamic range, but they require significantly more resources ...
Cortus extends family of 32 bit modern RISC microcontroller IP cores with high performance FPS6 microcontroller IP core. The FPS6 is aimed at demanding floating point applications such as industrial ...
This article explains the basics of floating-point arithmetic, how floating-point units (FPUs) work, and how to use FPGAs for easy, low-cost floating-point processing. Inside microprocessors, numbers ...
Floating-point values contain three fields: a sign bit, exponent bits, and significand or mantissa bits. The IEEE-754 floating-point number format defined a common floating-point format that most ...
An unfortunate reality of trying to represent continuous real numbers in a fixed space (e.g. with a limited number of bits) is that this comes with an inevitable loss of both precision and accuracy.
I keep reading here and elsewhere about how a 64 bit processor doesn't offer any inherently better performance over a 32 bit one, and that makes sense to me. Except for the case of 64 bit floating ...
bytes : byte2 byte1 byte4 byte3</pre> <BR>Now, I know that in the bit representation above, bit 1 is the sign bit, bits 2 through 9 are the exponent, and bits 10 through 32 are the ...
