Engineering design methodology recommends designing a system as follows: Start with an unambiguous speci cation, partition the system into blocks, specify the functionality of eac...
Multimedia and communication algorithms from embedded system domain often make extensive use of floating-point arithmetic. Due to the complexity and expense of the floating-poin...
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 ...
FPGAs have reached densities that can implement floatingpoint applications, but floating-point operations still require a large amount of FPGA resources. One major component of IE...

We are proposing a micro-architecture for highperformance IEEE floating-point addition that is based on a (non-redundant)high-radix representation of the floatingpoint operands....
