Munich, Germany — Infineon Technologies AG has added a floating-point maths unit (FPU) to its library of system design blocks supporting the TriCore processor core. The addition of an FPU will improve ...

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 ...

The shift to larger data words and higher sampling rates in audio applications is creating challenges for the audio developer. Here’s some advice on how to deal with the transition. The demand for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
