Abstract


IEEE-754 specifies interchange and arithmetic formats and methods for binary and decimal floating-point arithmetic in computer programming world. The implementation of a floating- point system using this standard can be done fully in software, or in hardware, or in any combination of software and hardware. This paper propose VHDL implementation of IEEE -754 Floating point unit .In proposed work the pack, unpack and rounding mode was implemented using the VHDL language and simulation was verified.

Keywords


IEEE754, Floating Point Unit, Pack, Unpack, Rounding.
