Semantics-Based Transformation of Arithmetic Expressions
Floating-point arithmetic is an important source of errors in programs because of the loss of precision arising during a computation. Unfortunately, this arithmetic is not intuitiv...

Automatic Accuracy-Guaranteed Bit-Width Optimization for Fixed and Floating-Point Systems
In this paper we present Minibit+, an approach that optimizes the bit-widths of fixed-point and floating-point designs, while guaranteeing accuracy. Our approach adopts differen...

Floating Point to Fixed Point Conversion of C Code
In processors that do not support floating-point instructions, using fixed-point arithmetic instead of floating-point emulation trades off computation accuracy for execution spe...
