The IEEE Standard 754-1985 for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic [1] was revised [2], and an important addition is the definition of decimal floating-point arithmetic. This is inte...

Abstract— Floating-point arithmetic is notoriously nonassociative due to the limited precision representation which demands intermediate values be rounded to fit in the availabl...
Robustness problems due to the substitution of the exact computation on real numbers by the rounded floating point arithmetic are often an obstacle to obtain practical implementat...
—This paper describes a low cost, low power, versatile computation module that can be used as a coarse-grain building block in multimedia processors. The module, which has a data...
