Abstract:Floating point arithmetic is a tedious implementation in General Purpose
Processors (GPP) and Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC).
ASICs don’t afford the modifications of instruction and algorithms in
floating point applications. GPP takes over the floating computations in
a separate circuit called a Floating Point Unit (FPU), it makes the FPU
consume more power and chip area. This paper presents the FPU which
incorporates its hardware circuitry for microarchitectural configuration
in FPGA. The prop… Show more
