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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
