Engineers targeting DSP to FPGAs have traditionally used fixed-point arithmetic, mainly because of the high cost associated with implementing floating-point arithmetic. That cost comes in the form of ...

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 ...

Why floating point is important for developing machine-learning models. What floating-point formats are used with machine learning? Over the last two decades, compute-intensive artificial-intelligence ...
