Engineers targeting DSP to FPGAs have traditionally used fixed-point arithmetic, mainly because of the high cost associated with implementing floating-point arithmetic. That cost comes in the form of ...
I am working on a viewshed* algorithm that does some floating point arithmetic. The algorithm sacrifices accuracy for speed and so only builds an approximate viewshed. The algorithm iteratively ...
Munich, Germany — Infineon Technologies AG has added a floating-point maths unit (FPU) to its library of system design blocks supporting the TriCore processor core. The addition of an FPU will improve ...
