Floating-point arithmetic can be expensive if you're using an integer-only processor. But floating-point values can be manipulated as integers, asa less expensive alternative. One advantage of using a ...

Why is my floating point math so inaccurate? If you lurk on embedded C forums for much time at all you will run into a question like this: “Why is my floating point math so inaccurate? I do a few ...

If you are used to writing software for modern machines, you probably don’t think much about computing something like one divided by three. Modern computers handle floating point quite well. However, ...

Many numerical applications typically use floating-point types to compute values. However, in some platforms, a floating-point unit may not be available. Other platforms may have a floating-point unit ...

Migrating floating-point algorithms to fixed-point platforms got significantly easier for users of the Mathworks' Matlab model-based development environment. Catalytic's Fixed-Point DSP Studio helps ...
