We present an error detection technique for a floating point adder which uses a checker adder of reduced precision to determine if the result is correct within some error bound. O...
The design and implementation of a double precision floating-point IEEE-754 standard adder is described which uses "flagged prefix addition" to merge rounding with the s...

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...
Shrinking feature sizes gives more headroom for designers to extend the functionality of microprocessors. The IEEE 754R working group has revised the IEEE 754-1985 Standard for Bi...
Abstract— Floating-point arithmetic is notoriously nonassociative due to the limited precision representation which demands intermediate values be rounded to fit in the availabl...
