The term floating point is derived from the fact that there is no fixed number of digits before and after the decimal point; namely, the decimal point can float. There are also representations in ...

I am working on floating point representation. I have to write a program that will take a decimal, convert to binary, normalize it, and print out the floating point representation. I want to write ...

Under OS/390, floating-point representation (unlike scientific notation) uses a base of 16 rather than base 10. IBM mainframe systems all use the same floating-point representation, which is made up ...

In fact, I verified that all permutations of a bugged combination =A*B of the form =A/2*B*2 are bugged. Further…all of the buggy decimal values have no perfect floating point binary representation. 77 ...

[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 ...

Most AI chips and hardware accelerators that power machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) applications include floating-point units (FPUs). Algorithms used in neural networks today are often ...
