May 10, 2006 - Digital Core Design, the Intellectual Property (IP) provider, today announces the release of a DFPMU-DP – Double Precision Floating Point Coprocessor. The DFPMU-DP is a 64-bit Double ...

Based on recent technological developments, high-performance floating-point signal processing can, for the very first time, be easily achieved using FPGAs. To date, virtually all FPGA-based signal ...

AMD researchers argue that, while algorithms like the Ozaki scheme merit investigation, they're still not ready for prime ...

AMD’s launching “the world’s first Stream GPU with double-precision floating point technology,” the FireStream 9170, and the AMD FireStream SDK for Stream processors. Running a cool $2000, the 55nm ...

The rise in interest in deep learning chips for training and inference has reignited interest in how reduced precision compute can cut down on energy, bandwidth, and other constraints inherent to ...

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.
