A Floating-Point Register in computer science refers to a special type of register used for storing floating-point numbers in a binary format. In MIPS architecture, floating-point registers are separate from ordinary registers and are used for performing floating-point arithmetic operations. ...
Floating-point arithmetic is considered an esoteric subject by many people. This is rather surprising because floating-point is ubiquitous in computer systems. Almost every language has a floating-point datatype; computers from PCs to supercomputers have floating-point accelerators; most compilers will ...
point numbers should be stored in a binary computer. It's popular because it allows floating-point numbers to be stored in a reasonable amount of space and calculations to occur relatively quickly. The 754 standard is used in the floating-point units and numeric data processors of nearly all ...
the question is, whether the floating point division of two integers like this: int i, j; //init float x = ((float) i)/j; ends up with the exactly same result on any computer within one CPU architecture, one operating system and one compiler. I don't really care what th...
We also describe efficient architectures for designing pipelined floating point units for addition/subtraction, multiplication and division that were used for 3D computer graphics applications in FPGAs. By exploiting the intrinsic architecture of such devices, and overcoming the limitations of VHDL and ...
The present paper focuses on the floating-point architecture of the Itanium processor family, and points out a few remarkable features suitable to be the focus of a lecture, lab session, or project in a computer architecture class. 展开
NVIDIA GPUs differ from the x86 architecture in that rounding modes are encoded within each floating point instruction instead of dynamically using a floating point control word. Trap handlers for floating point exceptions are not supported. On the GPU there is no status flag to indicate when calcu...
Floating-point calculations can be accelerated using a Floating-point unit (FPU) integrated in the processor. 1.1 Fixed-point or floating-point One alternative to floating-point is fixed-point, where the exponent field is fixed. But if fixed-point is giving better calculation...
1. In a microprocessor system including a microprocessing unit having a stack cache, a system for effecting floating-point mathematical instructions comprising: arithmetic logic unit means for performing floating-point operations upon values within cells of said stack cache; means, coupled to said arit...
