Abstract: The IEEE 754 standard does not distinguish between exact and inexact floating-point numbers. There is no bit or field in the binary encoding that indicates whether a floating-point number is ...

Why floating point is important for developing machine-learning models. What floating-point formats are used with machine learning? Over the last two decades, compute-intensive artificial-intelligence ...

Multiplication on a common microcontroller is easy. But division is much more difficult. Even with hardware assistance, a 32-bit division on a modern 64-bit x86 CPU can run between 9 and 15 cycles.

AI is all about data, and the representation of the data matters strongly. But after focusing primarily on 8-bit integers and 32‑bit floating-point numbers, the industry is now looking at new formats.

Is living on the water our future? Floating developments, including a project in progress in South Korea, suggest that it’s more than a pipe dream. By Stephen Treffinger This article is part of our ...

Early Stage VC Firm Created by Oscar Health Founding Team Now Manages more than $150 Million in Assets NEW YORK & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Floating Point, an early stage venture capital firm investing ...

An unfortunate reality of trying to represent continuous real numbers in a fixed space (e.g. with a limited number of bits) is that this comes with an inevitable loss of both precision and accuracy.

Mooring design for floating wave energy converters (WECs) is crucial for station maintaining, efficient power collection, and economic concerns. In order to study the dynamic response of the ...

Originally used in applications related to national security and now frequently used for data-intensive and computation-heavy scientific and engineering purposes across industries, supercomputers aren ...
