+ Application-specific arithmetic +
+
+ Florent de Dinechin (INSA-Lyon/Inria) and Martin Kumm (Fulda University of Applied Sciences) +
+
+ A software designer has to carefully select the arithmetic that best + suits each step of her application, but the choice is constrained: only + a handful of operators are supported in hardware, in only in a handful + of precisions. + Conversely, when designing for hardware or FPGAs, these constraints + become degrees of freedom. Any precision can be designed, any number + encoding, but also any operation and function, provided you are clever + enough to implement it efficiently as a circuit. +
+ This talk will expose some of the opportunities offered by this freedom, + and some of the methodologies and tools that allow a designer to build + and compose application-specific operators. + It may include some inadvertent advertising for our upcoming 800-page + book dedicated to these topics. +
