Here we provide rational for using Centar’s floating-point IP core for the new Altera Arria 10 and Stratix 10 FPGA platforms. After a short contextual discussion section, a comparison of various FFT ...

Although something that’s taken for granted these days, the ability to perform floating-point operations in hardware was, for the longest time, something reserved for people with big wallets. This ...
