Floating-Point Compiler: Increasing Performance With Fewer Resources

Showing new levels of high-performance, high-density, IEEE754-compliant floating-point applications in FPGAs is the focus of this white paper. A new tool is introduced that will allow 100 percent of the floating-point capability of the FPGA device to be used. Combined with the rich DSP resources and advanced routing fabrics of the most recent Altera® FPGAs, unprecedented performance numbers are...

Equity, Efficiency and Increasing Returns

Increasing Returns and Economic Efficiency

This paper argues that, from the viewpoint of Pareto optimality, the industries with increasing returns are under-expanded relative to those without increasing returns and those with higher degrees of increasing returns are under-expanded relative to those with lower degrees. Ignoring administrative and indirect (such as rent-seeking) costs, subsidies on goods produced under conditions of (high...
