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...
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...
Abstract—Some processors designed for consumer applications, such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and the CELL processor, promise outstanding floating-point performance for ...
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...
This paper will describe the architecture of a compiler which will convert an untimed C description of a set of floating point expressions into a synthesizable datapath optimized ...
