Abstract

We propose an algorithm which processes the floating-point $n_{addition}$traction and rounding in parallel. It also processes multiplication and rounding in the same way. The hardware model is presented that minimizes the delay time to get results for all the rounding modes defined in the IEEE Standards. An unified method to get the three bits(L, G, S)for the rounding is described. We also propose an unified guide line to determine the 1-bit shift for the post-normalization in the Floating-point $n_{addition}$traction and multiplication.
