The FloPoCo open-source arithmetic core generator project started modestly in 2008 with a
few parametric floating point cores. It has since then evolved to become a framework for …

In this article, we propose a novel approach to reduce hardware resource consumption
when neural networks (NNs) are deployed on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) …

Arithmetic is a key component and is ubiquitous in today's digital world, ranging from
embedded to high-performance computing systems. With machine learning at the fore in a …

Piecewise polynomial interpolation is a well-established technique for hardware function
evaluation. The paper describes a novel technique to minimize polynomial coefficients …

Function evaluation is an important arithmetic computation in many signal processing
applications, such as special function units in modern graphics processing units (GPUs) …

A dual-channel multiplier (DCM) for energy efficient second-order piecewise-polynomial
function evaluation for 3-D graphics applications is presented in this paper. The …

This paper presents a framework to reuse the intelligence of RTL generators in a single-
source HLS setting. This framework is illustrated by a C++ fixed-point library to generate …

Unary computing is a relatively new method for implementing arbitrary nonlinear functions
that uses unpacked, thermometer number encoding, enabling much lower hardware costs …

This article introduces several improvements to the multipartite method, a generic technique
for the hardware implementation of numerical functions. A multipartite architecture replaces …

Lookup tables are widely used in hardware to store arrays of constant values. For instance,
complex mathematical functions in hardware are typically implemented through table-based …
