Lower-precision floating-point arithmetic is becoming more common, moving beyond the usual IEEE 64-bit double-precision and 32-bit single-precision formats. Today, hardware accelerators and software ...

The Top 500 list of supercomputers has come and gone again, and vendors have engaged in their usual round of self-congratulations and performance posting. All the talk of FLOPs can get a little ...

If you’ve watched a fight in the past 50 years, you’ve heard it announced: “All three judges score the bout 115–113…” Those numbers, so familiar they’re practically part of boxing’s DNA, come from the ...

Abstract: This letter presents novel approximate floating-point arithmetic units that leverage hardware-efficient rounding schemes to enhance computational accuracy while significantly improving ...

It has taken nearly two decades and an immense amount of work by millions of people for high performance computing to go mainstream with GenAI. And now, we live in a world where AI servers crammed ...

Repository accompanying the paper "Fixed-Posit: A Floating-Point Representation for Error-Resilient Applications" published in IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II ...

Recent presidential elections have featured a lot of continuity. In a politically polarized America, the vast majority of voters stick with the same party from election to election. But in a closely ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A few weeks ago, my ears perked up when a gaggle of middle school volleyball players in my car were talking about the teachers they don’t like; I have an unfortunate appetite for tweenage gossip, and ...

A Kings Point resident opened her closet and discovered a slithery surprise: a ball python. According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO), officers responded to Kings Point near Delray ...

Abstract: In this paper, a hardware design based on the field programmable gate array (FPGA) to implement a linear regression algorithm is presented. The arithmetic operations were optimized by ...
