The tools use a novel system for maintaining binary point informationso that the conversion from floating point to fixed point isautomated and the resulting fixed point algorithm achieves maximum possible precision. A configurable architecture is used during the simulation phase so that the algorithm can produce a bit-exact output for several different target devices. }, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {2}, year = {2007}, pages = {341 - 344}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/14297}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/2}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 2, 2007}, }
