Efficient Rounding Algorithm and Implementation for IEEE Floating Point Addition/Subtraction

IEEE 부동 소수점 덧셈/뺄셈 연산에서 효율적인 반올림 알고리즘과 구현

The process of conventional floating-point additio $n_traction operation consists of alignment, additio $n_traction, normalization, and rounding stage. Because rounding stage needs an incrementor or adder, it occupies much time and chip area. In addition, it needs additional time and hardware for renormalization which occurs in overflow due to rounding In this paper, floating-point adde $r_tractor performing rounding and additio $n_traction in parallel is presented by using the feature of additio $n_traction and carry select adder used in additio $n_tracting stage. Proposed floating point adde $r_tractor doesn't need time and incrementor nor adder for rounding. Also, renormalization doesn't occur since rounding is performed prior to normalization.to normalization.
