—Due to the widespread use and inherent complexity of floating-point addition, much effort has been devoted to its speedup via algorithmic and circuit techniques. We propose a ne...
In this paper we propose an architecture for the computation of the double—precision floating—point multiply—add fused (MAF) operation A + (B × C) that permits to compute ...
We report on the formal verification of the floating point unit used in the VAMP processor. The FPU is fully IEEE compliant, and supports denormals and exceptions in hardware. The ...
