Sobin Daniel · 2014
Floating Point Numbers are used in the field of medical imaging, biometrics, motion capture and audio applications, including broadcast, conferencing, musical instruments and professional audio. For this IEEE 754 standard is used .The floating point standard defines not only normalized values but it also considers special cases. It also specifies four rounding modes. Rounding modes implemented in this multiplier are round to infinity, round to zero and round to nearest. Exceptions used in this floating point are inexact, invalid, overflow, underflow, infinity operations, etc.
