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, ...

Floating-point arithmetic is a cornerstone of modern computational science, providing an efficient means to approximate real numbers within a finite precision framework. Its ubiquity across scientific ...

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 ...

“Compared to competing solutions, only System Generator for DSP provides developers with a bit accurate solution, meaning we can guarantee that the simulation model will match the hardware ...

I am working on a viewshed* algorithm that does some floating point arithmetic. The algorithm sacrifices accuracy for speed and so only builds an approximate viewshed. The algorithm iteratively ...

Why floating point is important for developing machine-learning models. What floating-point formats are used with machine learning? Over the last two decades, compute-intensive artificial-intelligence ...

A team led by Paderborn scientists Professor Thomas D. Kühne and Professor Christian Plessl has succeeded in becoming the first group in the world to break the major “exaflop” barrier – more than a ...
