The shift to larger data words and higher sampling rates in audio applications is creating challenges for the audio developer. Here’s some advice on how to deal with the transition. The demand for ...

We've rounded up some of the best (and still affordable) products for you to get the most bang for your buck. Read now Encoding has always been part of digital audio. Lossless formats encode ...

EMBEDDED WORLD 2010, Nuremberg, Germany—Atmel Corp. announced a new technology, a floating point unit, that is being designed for its 32-bit AVR UC3 product family. According to Atmel, floating point ...

Digital signal controllers (DSCs) offer the most advanced form of single-chip control processing available for high-end embedded systems. DSCs with floating-point architecture take fewer processing ...

Essentially all AI training is done with 32-bit floating point. But doing AI inference with 32-bit floating point is expensive, power-hungry and slow. And quantizing models for 8-bit-integer, which is ...

Why floating point is important for developing machine-learning models. What floating-point formats are used with machine learning? Over the last two decades, compute-intensive artificial-intelligence ...

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 ...
