Floating-point arithmetic is a cornerstone of modern computational science, providing an efficient means to approximate real numbers within a finite precision framework. Its ubiquity across scientific ...

Munich, Germany — Infineon Technologies AG has added a floating-point maths unit (FPU) to its library of system design blocks supporting the TriCore processor core. The addition of an FPU will improve ...

Floating-point arithmetic is a cornerstone of numerical computation, enabling the approximate representation of real numbers in a format that balances range and precision. Its widespread applicability ...

The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) of South Korea announced that a group of South Korean researchers has developed the country’s first floating point accelerator chip for ...

At the recent Nvidia GTC conference, the company unveiled what it described as the first single-rack system of servers capable of one exaflop — one billion billion, or a quintillion, floating-point ...

A team led by Paderborn scientists Professor Thomas D. Kühne and Professor Christian Plessl has succeeded in becoming the first group in the world to break the major “exaflop” barrier – more than a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although something that’s taken for granted these days, the ability to perform floating-point operations in hardware was, for the longest time, something reserved for people with big wallets. This ...
