May 10, 2006 - Digital Core Design, the Intellectual Property (IP) provider, today announces the release of a DFPMU-DP – Double Precision Floating Point Coprocessor. The DFPMU-DP is a 64-bit Double ...

Floating-point arithmetic is used extensively in many applications across multiple market segments. These applications often require a large number of calculations and are prevalent in financial ...

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 ...

In a nutshell: The performance of supercomputers included in the TOP500 list is measured in floating point operations per second (FLOPS) with a specific level of precision. By lowering TOP500's 64-bit ...

The term floating point is derived from the fact that there is no fixed number of digits before and after the decimal point; namely, the decimal point can float. There are also representations in ...

As defined by the IEEE 754 standard, floating-point values are represented in three fields: a significand or mantissa, a sign bit for the significand and an exponent field. The exponent is a biased ...

The rise in interest in deep learning chips for training and inference has reignited interest in how reduced precision compute can cut down on energy, bandwidth, and other constraints inherent to ...
