The traditional view is that the floating-point number format is superior to the fixed-point number format when it comes to representing sound digitally. In fact, while it may be counter-intuitive, ...

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 ...

Abstract: Due to data explosion of the deep neural networks (DNNs), recent advancements for DNNs have been focusing on reducing an amount of data while preserving the accuracy. In spite of the advent ...

Beforediscussing a new approach that enables floating-point implementation inhardware with performance similar to that of fixed-point processing, it isfirst necessary to discuss the reason why ...

Embedded C and C++ programmers are familiar with signed and unsigned integers and floating-point values of various sizes, but a number of numerical formats can be used in embedded applications. Here ...

[Editor's note: For an intro to floating-point math, see Tutorial: Floating-point arithmetic on FPGAs. For a comparison of fixed- and floating-point hardware, see Fixed vs. floating point: a ...

Abstract: It is difficult to write a numerical program that does not incur floating-point exceptions in practice. To detect floatingpoint exceptions, most existing methods use static analysis, which ...

While the media buzzes about the Turing Test-busting results of ChatGPT, engineers are focused on the hardware challenges of running large language models and other deep learning networks. High on the ...
