division

Jul 05, 2003 5 Replies

hello there i am relatively new to VHDL..this might sound simple any ideas how to carry out division (floating point) in VHDL??


remember log division from schoool, now try that in base 2!

Yes. And then develop a hardware design that can do that...

When this is done, it's a small step to describe it in VHDL.

Regards, Mario

Sorry I meant LONG division not LOG

For a few seconds I considered that you meant subtracting logs to do division. But then I figured it out. I don't think subtracting logs and then antilog is likely to be a very good way in FPGA.
