A floating-point format is specified by a base (b), which is either 2 (binary) or 10 (decimal), a precision (p) range, and an exponent range from emin to emax, with emin = 1 − emax for all IEEE ...

The circuit in Fig.4 and Fig.5 can be generalised from four to N floating point numbers. The N incoming floating point numbers are pre-processed as before We also need an N-port register file ...

Floating-point arithmetic is a cornerstone of modern computational science, providing an efficient means to approximate real numbers within a finite precision framework.
