AI is all about data, and the representation of the data matters strongly. But after focusing primarily on 8-bit integers and 32‑bit floating-point numbers, the industry is now looking at new formats.

Native Floating-Point HDL code generation allows you to generate VHDL or Verilog for floating-point implementation in hardware without the effort of fixed-point conversion. Native Floating-Point HDL ...

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 ...

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 ...

VB6’s two floating point types are called Single and Double. Learn what distinguishes Single from Double, and find out when you would be wise to use Double instead of Single in your programs. The data ...
