A FLOP is a single floating‑point operation, meaning one arithmetic calculation (add, subtract, multiply, or divide) on ...

The arithmetic unit is one of the important components of CPU design. For computation of complex arithmetic functions on hardware, the CORDIC algorithm is an attractive fixed-point algorithm that uses ...

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 ...

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 ...

Floating-point arithmetic is a cornerstone of numerical computation, enabling the approximate representation of real numbers in a format that balances range and precision. Its widespread applicability ...

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

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 ...
