Abstract. In the context of deductive program verification, supporting floatingpoint computations is tricky. We propose an expressive language to formally specify behavioral proper...
—Due to the widespread use and inherent complexity of floating-point addition, much effort has been devoted to its speedup via algorithmic and circuit techniques. We propose a ne...
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 ...
Engineering design methodology recommends designing a system as follows: Start with an unambiguous speci cation, partition the system into blocks, specify the functionality of eac...
FPGAs have reached densities that can implement floatingpoint applications, but floating-point operations still require a large amount of FPGA resources. One major component of IE...
