1. Leveraging Posits for the Conjugate Gradient Linear Solver on an Application-Level RISC-V Core
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Sammanfattning : Emerging floating-point arithmetics provide a way to optimize the execution of computationally-intensive algorithms. This is the case with scientific computational kernels such as the Conjugate Gradient (CG) linear solver. Exploring new arithmetics is of paramount importance to maximize the accuracy and timing performance of these algorithms. LÄS MER
2. Assessing Differences in Precision with Posit Floating Point Format compared to IEEE 754
Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Sammanfattning : Choosing the correct floating point representation can greatly impact the performance and precision of floating point operations. The current floating point representation standard is IEEE 754. A recent floating point representation which seems to yield a greater precision for the same number of bits is called Posit. LÄS MER
3. A Comparative Study on the Accuracy of IEEE-754 and Posit for N-body Simulations
Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Sammanfattning : IEEE-754 has been the standard floating-point format for several decades. However, in recent years multiple new floating-point formats have emerged, one of which is Posit. This study aimed to examine the accuracy of 32-bit IEEE-754 compared to that of 32-bit Posit. LÄS MER
4. An evaluation of a new standard for floating point precision : A quantitative comparison of Posit and IEEE 754 Float
Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Sammanfattning : Posit is a new floating point precision representation that has been developed as an alternative to the existing IEEE 754 floating point standard. Prior studies have found several use-cases for posit, but also potential drawbacks. LÄS MER
5. An error assessment of matrix multiplications on posit matrices
Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Sammanfattning : The posit is a floating-point number format as proposed by John Gustafson to improve upon the accuracy of the IEEE-754 format, which is the standard today. The goal of this paper was to look specifically at matrix multiplication and examine how the posit format compared to the IEEE-754. LÄS MER
