I am working on a viewshed* algorithm that does some floating point arithmetic. The algorithm sacrifices accuracy for speed and so only builds an approximate viewshed. The algorithm iteratively ...

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 ...

Floating-point arithmetic is a cornerstone of numerical computation, enabling the approximate representation of real numbers in a format that balances range and precision. Its widespread applicability ...

[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 ...

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.

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract By modification of the standard definition of relative error, a form of error arithmetic is developed that ...
