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 ...

Before becoming adopted as a catch-phrase on TikTok, the term ‘flop’ was a short-hand for floating point operations per second. Floating point numbers are commonly known as “real” numbers and, in the ...

Floating-point arithmetic can be expensive if you're using an integer-only processor. But floating-point values can be manipulated as integers, asa less expensive alternative. One advantage of using a ...
