Texas Instruments’ new TMS320F2833x DSCs (digital-signal controllers) integrate a 32-bit floating-point unit that performs 300 MFLOPS (million floating point operations per second) with a 150-MHz ...

Cortus extends family of 32 bit modern RISC microcontroller IP cores with high performance FPS6 microcontroller IP core. The FPS6 is aimed at demanding floating point applications such as industrial ...

Most of the algorithms implemented in FPGAs used to be fixed-point. Floating-point operations are useful for computations involving large dynamic range, but they require significantly more resources ...

We've rounded up some of the best (and still affordable) products for you to get the most bang for your buck. Read now Encoding has always been part of digital audio. Lossless formats encode ...

Floating-point values contain three fields: a sign bit, exponent bits, and significand or mantissa bits. The IEEE-754 floating-point number format defined a common floating-point format that most ...

An unfortunate reality of trying to represent continuous real numbers in a fixed space (e.g. with a limited number of bits) is that this comes with an inevitable loss of both precision and accuracy.

I keep reading here and elsewhere about how a 64 bit processor doesn't offer any inherently better performance over a 32 bit one, and that makes sense to me. Except for the case of 64 bit floating ...
