[Editor's note: For an intro to fixed-point math, see Fixed-Point DSP and Algorithm Implementation. For a comparison of fixed- and floating-point hardware, see Fixed vs. floating point: a surprisingly ...

Because so many microcontrollers now include a floating-point unit (FPU) that performs math operations, engineers can tackle a wider range of applications that rely on precise values for control ...

In this video from the HPC Advisory Council Australia Conference, John Gustafson from the National University of Singapore presents: Beating Floating Point at its own game – Posit Arithmetic. “Dr.

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 ...

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 ...
