Floating-point computations are usually performed with fixed precision: the machine used may have “single” or “double” precision floating-point hardware, or on small machines fixed-precision floating-point operations may be implemented by software or firmware. Most high-level languages support only a small number of floating-point precisions, and those which support an arbitrary number usually ...

Food is a signifier of identity and status (Hayden, 1998, 2009; Hayden & Villeneuve, 2011; Neill et al., 2015). In traditional times, Māori consumed range hunted, gathered, cultivated foods (Royal Kaka-Scott, 2013). As result this diet, non-infectious diseases were low among due to with higher levels protective chemicals nutrients (Cambie Fergusson, 2003).

Due to technological advances, it has become possible to implement floating-point cores on FPGAs in an effort to provide hardware acceleration for the myriad applications that require high performance floating-point arithmetic. However, in order to achieve a high clock rate, these floating-point cores must be deeply pipelined. Due to this deep pipelining and the complexity of floating-point ari...

Floating Point operations is widely used in many areas, especially in signal processing. The greater dynamic range and lack of need to scale the numbers makes development of algorithms much easier. However, implementing arithmetic operations for floating point numbers in hardware is very difficult. The IEEE floating point standard defines both single precision (32-bit) and double precision (64-...

A novel digitally programmable floating impedance converter circuit is realized using two CMOS digitally programmable differential voltage current conveyors and three grounded passive elements. The realized impedance converter can provide digitally programmable floating impedances like ideal floating resistor, capacitor, inductor and frequency dependent negative resistor through appropriate sel...

Floating-point division is generally regarded as a low frequency, high latency operation in typical floating-point applications. However, in the worst case, a high latency hardware floating-point divider can contribute an additional 0.50 CPI to a system executing SPECfp92 applications. This paper presents the system performance impact of floating-point division latency for varying instruction i...

Floating point arithmetic is widely used in many areas, especially scientific computation and signal processing. The main applications of floating points today are in the field of medical imaging, biometrics, motion capture and audio applications. The IEEE floating point standard defines both single precision and double precision formats. Multiplication is a core operation in many signal proces...

According to the structure characteristics of railway viaduct with light floating slabs, a frequency domain dynamic model of the vehicle-light floating slab track-viaduct bridge vertical coupling system is established. The Green functions are used to quickly calculate the receptance response of the system, and then the pseudo excitation method is used to further analyze the parameter influences...

The aim of this paper is to find an accurate and efficient algorithm for evaluating the summation of large sets of floating-point numbers. We present a new representation of the floating-point number system in which a number is represented as a linear combination of integers and the coefficients are powers of the base of the floating-point system. The approach allows to build up an accurate flo...
