This chapter is devoted to introducing the theories of interval algebra to people who are interested in applying the interval methods to uncertainty analysis in science and engineering. In view of this purpose, we shall introduce the key... more
Decimal data processing applications have grown exponentially in recent years thereby increasing the need to have hardware support for decimal arithmetic. In this paper, an improved architecture for efficient Binary Coded Decimal (BCD)... more
This is a draft of a book about algorithms for performing arithmetic, and their implementation on modern computers. We are concerned with software more than hardware - we do not cover computer architecture or the design of computer... more
In mathematics and computer science, for a given real number, there are situations where we need to perform base number conversion. Floating point numbers are known for their very large and very small number representations such as beyond... more
This paper presents a new floating-point technology: Bounded Floating Point (BFP) that constrains inexact floating-point values by adding a new field to the standard floating point data structure. This BFP extension to standard floating... more
Abstract. Given a Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition of an implicit algebraic curve, visualizing distinct curve arcs is not as easy as it stands because, despite the absence of singularities in the interior, the arcs can pass arbitrary... more
AbstractSparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV) is a common operation in numerical linear algebra and is the computational kernel of many scientific applications. It is one of the original and perhaps most studied targets for FPGA... more
By using a combination of 32-bit and 64-bit floating point arithmetic, the performance of many dense and sparse linear algebra algorithms can be significantly enhanced while maintaining the 64-bit accuracy of the resulting solution. The... more

A new reorthogonalized block classical Gram--Schmidt algorithm is proposed that factorizes a full column rank matrix A into A=QR where Q is left orthogonal (has orthonormal columns) and R is upper triangular and nonsingular. With... more
Recursive procedures used for sequential calculations of polynomial basis coefficients in discrete orthogonal moments produce unreliable results for high moment orders as a result of error accumulation. This paper demonstrates accurate... more
This paper discusses the design and development of a general-purpose programmable DSP subsystem packaged in a multichip module. The subsystem contains a 32-bit floating-point programmable DSP processor along with 256 K-byte of SRAM; 128... more

Abstract: This work explores the feasibility of implementing a floating-point exponentiation unit on reconfigurable computing systems. A table-driven exponentiation unit was implemented using synthesizable VHDL. The project included... more
