The floating-point unit of a S/390 CMOS microprocessor is described. It contains a 116 bit fraction dataflow for addition and subtraction and a 64 bit-wide multiplier. Besides the...
—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...
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...
Abstract—Some processors designed for consumer applications, such as Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and the CELL processor, promise outstanding floating-point performance for ...
Abstract. In the context of deductive program verification, supporting floatingpoint computations is tricky. We propose an expressive language to formally specify behavioral proper...
