This article explains the basics of floating-point arithmetic, how floating-point units (FPUs) work, and how to use FPGAs for easy, low-cost floating-point processing. Inside microprocessors, numbers ...
Most of the algorithms implemented in FPGAs used to be fixed-point. Floating-point operations are useful for computations involving large dynamic range, but they require significantly more resources ...
Digital signal processors (DSPs) represent one of the fastest growing segments of the embedded world. Yet despite their ubiquity, DSPs present difficult challenges for programmers. In particular, ...
[Editor's note: For an intro to fixed-point math, see Fixed-Point DSP and Algorithm Implementation. For a comparison of fixed- and floating-point hardware, see Fixed vs. floating point: a surprisingly ...
