Migrating signal-processing algorithms from floating- to fixed-point is often necessary to meet various design constraints, including real-time performance, cost and power dissipation. The migration ...

In a recent survey conducted by AccelChip Inc. (recently acquired by Xilinx), 53% of the respondents identified floating- to fixed-point conversion as the most difficult aspect of implementing an ...

I am working on a viewshed* algorithm that does some floating point arithmetic. The algorithm sacrifices accuracy for speed and so only builds an approximate viewshed. The algorithm iteratively ...
