High - Radix Floating - Point Division Algorithms for Embedded VLIW
نویسنده
چکیده
This work presents floating-point division algorithms and implementations for embedded VLIW integer processors. On those processors, there is no hardware floatingpoint unit, for cost reasons. But, for portability and/or accuracy reasons, a software floating-point emulation layer is sometime useful. In this paper, we focus on high-radix digit-recurrence algorithms for floating-point division on integer VLIW processors. Our algorithms are targeted for the ST200 processor from STMicroelectronics.

Today some embedded systems still do not integrate their own floating-point unit, for area, cost, or energy consumptionconstraints. However, this kind of architectures is widely used in application domains highly demanding on floating-point calculations (multimedia, audio and video, or telecommunications). To compensate this lack of floating-pointhardware, floating-point arithmetic ...
متن کاملImprove High Performance Factor for Floating Point Srt Division
The execution performances of the Sweeney, Robertson, Tocher (SRT) division algorithm depend on two parameters: the radix and the redundancy factor. In this paper, a study of the effect of these parameters on the division performances is presented. At each iteration, the SRT algorithm performs a multiplication by the quotient digit .This last can be just a simple shift, if the digit is a power ...
متن کاملMultiprecision division: Expanded Version
This paper presents a study of multiprecision division on processors containing word-by-word multipliers. It compares several algorithms by first optimizing each for the software environment, and then comparing their performances on simple machine models. While the study was originally motivated by floating-point division in the small-word environment, the results are extended to multiprecision...

Absfmcf-The parallel division algorithms discussed in this paper may be classified among modified higher radix nonrestor-ing on-line division methods, where redundant representations are extensively utilized to speed up the operation. The network realizations of these algorithms are cellular, or even systolic with exclusively local control; they have size (area) and time both O (n) , where n is...
متن کاملDecimal Division Using the Newton–Raphson Method and Radix-1000 Arithmetic
Computer arithmetic is predominantly performed using binary arithmetic because the hardware implementations of the operations are simpler than those for decimal computation. However, many decimal fractions cannot be represented exactly as binary fractions with a finite number of bits. The value 0.1, for example, can only be represented as an infinitely recurring binary number. If a binary appro...
