It is proposed to add to the C++ standard optional floating-point typedefs having specified widths. The optional typedefs include float16_t, float32_t, float64_t, float128_t, their corresponding least and fast types, and the corresponding maximumwidth type. These are to conform with the corresponding specifications of binary16, binary32, binary64, and binary128 in IEEE_ floating-point format. T...

New Voltage Differencing Differential Input Buffered Amplifier (VD-DIBA) based lossless grounded and floating inductance simulation circuits have been proposed. The proposed grounded simulated inductance circuit employs a single VD-DIBA, one floating resistance and one grounded capacitor. The floating simulated inductance (FI) circuits employ two VD-DIBAs with two passive components (one floati...

We address the single source shortest path planning problem (SSSP) in the case of floating point edge weights. We show how any integer based Dijkstra solution that relies on a monotone integer priority queue to create a full ordering over path lengths in order to solve integer SSSP can be used as an oracle to solve floating point SSSP with positive edge weights (floating point P-SSSP). Floating...

Floating Point operations is widely used in many areas, especially in signal processing. The greater dynamic range and lack of need to scale the numbers makes development of algorithms much easier. However, implementing arithmetic operations for floating point numbers in hardware is very difficult. The IEEE floating point standard defines both single precision (32-bit) and double precision (64-...

Due to technological advances, it has become possible to implement floating-point cores on FPGAs in an effort to provide hardware acceleration for the myriad applications that require high performance floating-point arithmetic. However, in order to achieve a high clock rate, these floating-point cores must be deeply pipelined. Due to this deep pipelining and the complexity of floating-point ari...

axial distributions of plasma and floating potentials, electron number density and the electron energy distribution function (eedf) have been measured in the double layer (dl) region of an he discharge constriction. excitation processes in the constriction region are studied. using a linearization method for the nonstationary balance equations and choosing appropriate discharge conditions, the ...

Robust object tracking requires knowledge and understanding of the object being tracked: its appearance, its motion, and how it changes over time. A tracker must be able to modify its underlying model and adapt to new observations. We present Re, a real-time deep object tracker capable of incorporating temporal information into its model. Rather than focusing on a limited set of objects or trai...

We consider the problem of estimating sparse precision matrix of Gaussian copula distributions using samples with missing values in high dimensions. Existing approaches, primarily designed for Gaussian distributions, suggest using plugin estimators by disregarding the missing values. In this paper, we propose double plugin Gaussian (DoPinG) copula estimators to estimate the sparse precision mat...

Floating-point division is generally regarded as a low frequency, high latency operation in typical floating-point applications. However, in the worst case, a high latency hardware floating-point divider can contribute an additional 0.50 CPI to a system executing SPECfp92 applications. This paper presents the system performance impact of floating-point division latency for varying instruction i...
