Today a company called Bounded Floating Point announced a “breakthrough patent in processor design, which allows representation of real numbers accurate to the last digit for the first time in ...

The arithmetic unit is one of the important components of CPU design. For computation of complex arithmetic functions on hardware, the CORDIC algorithm is an attractive fixed-point algorithm that uses ...

Abstract Rounding error analyses of numerical algorithms are most often carried out via repeated applications of the so-called standard models of floating-point ...

Most AI chips and hardware accelerators that power machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) applications include floating-point units (FPUs). Algorithms used in neural networks today are often ...

AI/ML training traditionally has been performed using floating point data formats, primarily because that is what was available. But this usually isn’t a viable option for inference on the edge, where ...
