Digital signal controllers (DSCs) offer the most advanced form of single-chip control processing available for high-end embedded systems. DSCs with floating-point architecture take fewer processing ...

Three new digital signal controllers (DSCs) from Texas Instruments promise to boost system performance, while simplifying software development for solar-power inverters and various types of industrial ...

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 ...

The arithmetic unit is one of the important components of CPU design. For computation of complex arithmetic functions on hardware, the CORDIC algorithm is an attractive fixed-point algorithm that uses ...

The traditional view is that the floating-point number format is superior to the fixed-point number format when it comes to representing sound digitally. In fact, while it may be counter-intuitive, ...

Today's programmable GPUs are the latest instantiation of programmable accelerators. Going back to the 1970s, the Floating Point Systems AP-120 and FPS-164 attached processors provided mainframe ...

When you think about it, it's surprising how many programming tasks don't require the use of floating point numbers. If you're an embedded systems programmer, you'd ...
