Fpga based implementation of a double precision ieee floating point adderSomsubhra Ghosh
This document describes an FPGA implementation of a double precision IEEE floating point adder. It outlines the general structure of IEEE 754 double precision numbers, describes the simple arithmetic operation of adding two such numbers, and proposes a two stage pipelined algorithm to perform the addition. It then discusses implementing the algorithm on FPGA devices, providing resource usage estimates and illustrations of the first two cycles of the algorithm. Simulation results are presented and the conclusions discuss the benefits of this technique for performing floating point additions with low latency.
Crown Holdings has demanded concessions from employees like a two-tier wage system and eliminating cost-of-living adjustments, despite doubling profits in 2012.
