In .NET 5 Preview 7, Microsoft has now introduced another floating-point datatype alongside the standard Float and Double. Dubbed Half, the new datatype is equivalent to binary16, which is specified ...

Native Floating-Point HDL code generation allows you to generate VHDL or Verilog for floating-point implementation in hardware without the effort of fixed-point conversion. Native Floating-Point HDL ...

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 ...

Infinite impulse response (IIR) filter implementations can have different forms (direct, standard, ladder, …), different math (fixed-point or floating-point), and different quantization (number of ...

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 ...

AI is all about data, and the representation of the data matters strongly. But after focusing primarily on 8-bit integers and 32‑bit floating-point numbers, the industry is now looking at new formats.

Embedded C and C++ programmers are familiar with signed and unsigned integers and floating-point values of various sizes, but a number of numerical formats can be used in embedded applications. Here ...
