​For much of the past decade, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) lived primarily in academic journals and standards committees.

Abstract: In this paper, we propose three modular multiplication algorithms that use only the IEEE 754 binary floating-point operations. Several previous studies have used floating-point operations to ...

The Top 500 list of supercomputers has come and gone again, and vendors have engaged in their usual round of self-congratulations and performance posting. All the talk of FLOPs can get a little ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

Welcome to the 42nd Songs of the Week of 2025. We didn’t do a Songs of the Week last week because of the Thanksgiving holiday, so this week’s list includes songs from the last two weeks. I find it ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

TL;DR – Add a built‑in tool that converts a binary (or hex) representation of an IEEE‑754 double‑precision floating‑point number into its decimal value, and vice‑versa. I often need to take a hexdump ...

Abstract: In this paper, we address the floating-point division operation under the Half Unit Biased (HUB) format. The proposed division algorithm is based on digit recurrence methods, which have been ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

This material has been superseded. Visit learn.bela.io for the maintained version. On Bela, there are two floating point units. The VFP handles scalar operations on both single- and double- precision ...
