We’ve discussed the idea of makers buying the right analog-to-digital converter (ADC), with resolution a big part of the decision. Most applications don’t need 32-bit precision; but applications like ...

The is a quote from Carmack that my buddy (who was arguing about this with me) sent me:<BR><BR><I>The significant issue that clouds current ATI / Nvidia comparisons is fragment shader precision.

Embedded C and C++ programmers are familiar with signed and unsigned integers and floating-point values of various sizes, but a number of numerical formats can be used in embedded applications. Here ...

In 1985, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) established IEEE 754, a standard for floating point formats and arithmetic that would become the model for practically all FP ...

The DSP32C has a unique architecture: Rather than using multiple buses to move the instructions and data needed for a single cycle, the DSP's modified Von Neumann architecture handles up to four ...
