I keep reading here and elsewhere about how a 64 bit processor doesn't offer any inherently better performance over a 32 bit one, and that makes sense to me. Except for the case of 64 bit floating ...

Because so many microcontrollers now include a floating-point unit (FPU) that performs math operations, engineers can tackle a wider range of applications that rely on precise values for control ...

Bitwise XOR compares each binary digit of the two inputs. The XOR returns a 1 when only one of the two digits is a 1, otherwise, it returns a zero for that position. Let’s say the coordinates were 3, ...

Is a 64-bit computer in your future? With all of the hype surrounding 64-bit processors, you probably assume that my answer would be an unequivocal “yes-and pretty darn soon, too!” But put aside the ...

Hi everyone. I'm learning about the 970 and can't seem to get XLC to produce code for 64-bit arithmetic. A trivial C routine:<BR><BR><pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> ...

AEC Q100-qualified Piccolo TMS320F2803x microcontrollers from Texas Instruments feature a 32-bit floating-point math accelerator that operates independently of the device’s C28x core and provides ...

At our HPC Day event ahead of the SC19 conference, supercomputing expert and Linpack creator Jack Dongarra talked about his new HPL-AI benchmark. Despite its name, HPL-AI is not somehow using AI to ...
