Recently I've become involved in multiple projects where inherent limitations in floating point numbers are leading to problems (for example, carry out a few hundred matrix multiplications and the ...
Yeah, I didn't learn anything about this in linear algebra (mathematicians never have floating-point errors, after all). I did take a Scientific Computation course that covered it, as part of the CS ...
In a recent survey conducted by AccelChip Inc. (recently acquired by Xilinx), 53% of the respondents identified floating- to fixed-point conversion as the most difficult aspect of implementing an ...
Why is my floating point math so inaccurate? If you lurk on embedded C forums for much time at all you will run into a question like this: “Why is my floating point math so inaccurate? I do a few ...
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 ...
Once the domain of esoteric scientific and business computing, floating point calculations are now practically everywhere. From video games to large language models and kin, it would seem that a ...
As defined by the IEEE 754 standard, floating-point values are represented in three fields: a significand or mantissa, a sign bit for the significand and an exponent field. The exponent is a biased ...
