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 ...

Hardware floating point can be attractive in many embedded applications where integer or fixed point algorithms produce either overflow/underflow or unacceptably long word lengths. In such cases ...

There is a natural preference to use floating-point implementations in custom embedded applications because they offer a much higher dynamic range and as a byproduct bypass the design hassle of ...

Engineers targeting DSP to FPGAs have traditionally used fixed-point arithmetic, mainly because of the high cost associated with implementing floating-point arithmetic. That cost comes in the form of ...

Xilinx has announced the availability of ISE Design Suite 13.3 featuring new capabilities for DSP designers to implement bit-accurate single, double and full custom precision floating-point math ...

Floating point units (fpu) can increase the range and precision of mathematical calculations or enable greater throughput in less time, making it easier to meet real time requirements. Or, by enabling ...

2) The standard double (8-byte) is not accurate enough for what I'm doing. long double is the same in VS C++. I think that a quad precision float would be enough, but there isn't a built in type for ...
