Abstract Rounding error analyses of numerical algorithms are most often carried out via repeated applications of the so-called standard models of floating-point ...

Recently I've become involved in multiple projects where inherent limitations in floating point numbers are leading to problems (for example, carry out a few hundred matrix multiplications and the ...

Today a company called Bounded Floating Point announced a “breakthrough patent in processor design, which allows representation of real numbers accurate to the last digit for the first time in ...

Although something that’s taken for granted these days, the ability to perform floating-point operations in hardware was, for the longest time, something reserved for people with big wallets. This ...

In a recent survey conducted by AccelChip Inc. (recently acquired by Xilinx), 53% of the respondents identified floating- to fixed-point conversion as the most difficult aspect of implementing an ...
