Abstract: Many of the scientific applications rely on floating point (FP) computation, often requiring the use of the 64 bit Floating Point format specified by the IEEE standard 754. The use of double precision (D.P.) data type improves the accuracy and dynamic range of the computation, but simultaneously it increases the complexity and performance of the arithmetical computation of the module. The design of high performance 64- Bit floating point units (FPUs) is thus of interest in this Document.
Keywords: IEEE, (D.P.) (FP).
