In modern computers, the floating point unit is the part of the processor delivering the highest computing power and getting most attention from the design team. Performance of an...
Abstract--The growth of high-performance application in computer graphics, signal processing and scientific computing is a key driver for high performance, fixed latency, pipelined...
In this paper we propose an architecture for the computation of the double—precision floating—point multiply—add fused (MAF) operation A + (B × C) that permits to compute ...
Many complex systems require the use of floating point arithmetic that is exceedingly time consuming to perform on personal computers. However, floating point operators are also h...

We report on the formal verification of the floating point unit used in the VAMP processor. The FPU is fully IEEE compliant, and supports denormals and exceptions in hardware. The ...
