Floating-point arithmetic can be expensive if you're using an integer-only processor. But floating-point values can be manipulated as integers, asa less expensive alternative. One advantage of using a ...

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 ...

“Analog In-Memory Computing (AIMC) is an emerging technology for fast and energy-efficient Deep Learning (DL) inference. However, a certain amount of digital post-processing is required to deal with ...

We implement fixed-point matrix inversion on a Virtex-4 FPGA using a synthesizable QR-decomposition MATLAB model and the AccelDSP Synthesis tool. The resulting function occupies 12% of a XC4VSX55 ...

Small OLED displays are inexpensive these days–cheap enough that pairing them with an 8-bit micro is economically feasible. But what can you do with a tiny display and not-entirely-powerful processor?

Hardware for integer or fixed-point arithmetic is relatively simple to design, at least at the register-transfer level. If the range of values and precision that can be represented with these formats ...
