We recently announced a new floating-point core that allows our designers to do fixed- and floating-point instructions on the same DSP opening up many new applications that need this type of precision ...

As defined by the IEEE 754 standard, floating-point values are represented in three fields: a significand or mantissa, a sign bit for the significand and an exponent field. The exponent is a biased ...

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 ...

There is a natural preference to use floating-point implementations in custom embedded applications because they offer a much higher dynamic range and as a byproduct bypass the design hassle of ...
