As defined by the IEEE 754 standard, floating-point values are represented in three fields: a significand or mantissa, a sign bit for the significand and an exponent field. The exponent is a biased ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today unveiled the Cadence ® Tensilica ® FloatingPoint DSP family, which provides a scalable and configurable solution ...

For developers using FPGAs for the implementation of floating-point DSP functions, one key challenge is how to decompose the computation algorithm into sequences of parallel hardware processes while ...

Engineers targeting DSP to FPGAs have traditionally used fixed-point arithmetic, mainly because of the high cost associated with implementing floating-point arithmetic. That cost comes in the form of ...

Many numerical applications typically use floating-point types to compute values. However, in some platforms, a floating-point unit may not be available. Other platforms may have a floating-point unit ...

Wong: EEMBC has been around for more than 16 years, why the recent need for floating-point benchmarks? Levy: While floating-point units in processors have been in use for decades, in recent times ...

Most AI chips and hardware accelerators that power machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) applications include floating-point units (FPUs). Algorithms used in neural networks today are often ...
