A Floating-Point Unit for Arithmetic Operations
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present a design for a floating point unit partially compliant with the IEEE 754 floating point standard. The unit fully implements comparisons and partially implements floating-point addition and multiplication. It is fully parametrized and may be used with floating point numbers whose composite fields have widths of any desired length.

ASIC Design of Butterfly Unit Based on Non-Redundant and Redundant Algorithm
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processors employed with pipeline architecture consist of series of Processing Elements (PE) or Butterfly Units (BU). BU or PE of FFT performs multiplication and addition on complex numbers. This paper proposes a single BU to compute radix-2, 8 point FFT in the time domain as well as frequency domain by replacing a series of PEs. This BU comprises of fused floating ...
