[Editor's note: For an intro to floating-point math, see Tutorial: Floating-point arithmetic on FPGAs. For a comparison of fixed- and floating-point hardware, see Fixed vs. floating point: a ...

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 ...

The MathWorks has introduced Fixed-Point Toolbox 2, which the company said provides enhanced floating-to-fixed-point conversion capabilities and accelerated fixed-point MATLAB algorithms able to ...

Newton's method is actually a special case of what is generally known as a fixed point method. These methods rely on the Fixed point Theorem: ...

The MathWorks on Tuesday released its new Fixed-Point Toolbox and Simulink Fixed Point, which add fixed-point design capabilities and better fixed-point simulation in MatLab and Simulink, respectively ...

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 7, No. 1 (Feb., 1982), pp. 1-13 (13 pages) In this paper an algorithm based on the principle of simplicial approximation is introduced to compute fixed points ...

If you are used to writing software for modern machines, you probably don’t think much about computing something like one divided by three. Modern computers handle floating point quite well. However, ...
