TI futurist "floats" a new idea
Floating point (FP) DSP architectures have been around for a long time and are notable for their raw performance versus fixed point. However, TI Principal Fellow Gene Frantz is floating a new idea about floating point and the possibility of a new architecture that could quadruple a floating point processor’s performance. See what he has to say on the topic and give us your thoughts www.ti.com/gffpblogetech. Also, Gene is now on Twitter nGENEr. Follow him for the latest on tech trends and university research. |
