Floating point also enables calculating a wide range of numbers very quickly. Although floating point dates back thousands of years, the concept is the same today. In a computer, the same quantity ...

If that’s not your way you might be out of luck. If you have trouble internalizing floating point number representations, the Internet is your friend. [Fabian Sanglard] (author of Game Engine ...

Location data is considered particularly sensitive -- its misuse can have serious consequences. Researchers have now developed a method that allows individuals to cryptographically prove their ...

There is a natural preference to use floating-point implementations in custom embedded applications because they offer a much higher dynamic range and as a byproduct bypass the design hassle of ...

A mathematical circuit that performs high-speed floating point operations. Also called a "floating point unit" (FPU), the math coprocessor may be a stand-alone chip or circuits built into the CPU.

Here we provide rational for using Centar’s floating-point IP core for the new Altera Arria 10 and Stratix 10 FPGA platforms. After a short contextual discussion section, a comparison of various FFT ...
