The failure of Dennard's scaling, the end of Moore's law and the recent developments
regarding Deep Neural Networks (DNN) are leading computer scientists, practitioners and …

This paper presents the design and implementation results of an efficient fast Fourier
transform (FFT) processor for frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar signal …

This paper discusses the introduction of an integrated Posit Processing Unit (PPU) as an
alternative to Floating-point Processing Unit (FPU) for Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in …

To overcome the limitations of conventional floating-point number formats, an interval
arithmetic and variable-width storage format called universal number (unum) has been …

The barrel shifter is an indispensable floating-point (FP) adder circuit. It performs the
alignment on the mantissa of the smallest FP number and also normalizes the added …

The unum arithmetic framework has been proposed by Gustafson, DJ to address the short-
comings of the IEEE 754 Standard's floating-point. In this paper, we present our software …

An era of exponentially improving computing efficiency is coming to an end as Moore's law
falters and Dennard scaling seems to have broken down. The power-wall obstacle fuels a …

Floating-Point (FP) units in processors are generally limited to supporting a subset of formats
defined by the IEEE 754 standard. As a result, high-efficiency languages and optimizing …

The universal number format (unum) is a recently proposed floating point format that solves
rounding issues with interval arithmetic and provides variable exponent and mantissa …

This work proposes to extend RISC-V with Variable Precision (VP) Floating-Point (FP)
capabilities to accelerate scientific computing applications. It adopts the UNUM type I FP …
