In article <3880@uceng.UC.EDU> ranga@uceng.UC.EDU (Dr. Ranga R. Vemuri) writes >Does any one have pointers to info. on floating point arithmetic units >(multipliers and dividers in particular) ... If your library has a year's worth of "EDN" and "Electronic Design" (etc), then you should be able to get all the phone numbers with a few minutes work. The hottest vaporware I know of is the new "130" series from BIT. Soon, you can get a sample with a 100 MHz double precision pipeline. They're also claiming that flowthrough only has one stage of latency: wow. Of course, the package is 5 square inches ... $1400 ... and thirty watts. Hot, indeed. -- Don D.C.Lindsay Carnegie Mellon Computer Science
