The traditional view is that the floating-point number format is superior to the fixed-point number format when it comes to representing sound digitally. In fact, while it may be counter-intuitive, ...
[Editor's note: For an intro to floating-point math, see Tutorial: Floating-point arithmetic on FPGAs. For an intro to fixed-point math, see Fixed-Point DSP and Algorithm Implementation.] The ...
In a recent survey conducted by AccelChip Inc. (recently acquired by Xilinx), 53% of the respondents identified floating- to fixed-point conversion as the most difficult aspect of implementing an ...
Many numerical applications typically use floating-point types to compute values. However, in some platforms, a floating-point unit may not be available. Other platforms may have a floating-point unit ...
If you are used to writing software for modern machines, you probably don’t think much about computing something like one divided by three. Modern computers handle floating point quite well. However, ...
