Floating-point values contain three fields: a sign bit, exponent bits, and significand or mantissa bits. The IEEE-754 floating-point number format defined a common floating-point format that most ...

This paper discusses a simple and effective method for the summation of long sequences of floating point numbers. The method comprises two phases: an accumulation phase where the mantissas of the ...

A way to represent very large and very small numbers using the same quantity of numeric positions. Floating point also enables calculating a wide range of numbers very quickly. Although floating point ...

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 ...
