This paper presents the detailed design of the ARM VFP11 Divide and Square Root synthesisable macrocell. The macrocell was designed using the minimum-redundancy radix-4 SRT digit ...
The draft revision of the IEEE Standard for FloatingPoint Arithmetic (IEEE P754) includes a definition for decimal floating-point (FP) in addition to the widely used binary FP s...
In the present paper, we investigate the approximation of a function by a polynomial with floating-point coefficients; we are looking for the best approximation in the L2 sense....
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...
This paper introduces two novel architectures for parallel decimal multipliers. Our multipliers are based on a new algorithm for decimal carry–save multioperand addition that us...
The floating point unit of the next generation PowerPC is detailed. It has been tested at over 5 GHz. The design supports an extremely aggressive cycle time of 13 FO4 using a tech...
