[Editor's note: For an intro to floating-point math, see Tutorial: Floating-point arithmetic on FPGAs. For a comparison of fixed- and floating-point hardware, see Fixed vs. floating point: a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Small OLED displays are inexpensive these days–cheap enough that pairing them with an 8-bit micro is economically feasible. But what can you do with a tiny display and not-entirely-powerful processor?

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, ...

“Analog In-Memory Computing (AIMC) is an emerging technology for fast and energy-efficient Deep Learning (DL) inference. However, a certain amount of digital post-processing is required to deal with ...

In this video from the HPC Advisory Council Australia Conference, John Gustafson from the National University of Singapore presents: Beating Floating Point at its own game – Posit Arithmetic. “Dr.

Hardware for integer or fixed-point arithmetic is relatively simple to design, at least at the register-transfer level. If the range of values and precision that can be represented with these formats ...
