Abstract

A series of original floating-point adders has been designed. The results of analyzing their operation, based on functional models written in Verilog HDL and simulated in the Active-HDL environment, confirm that preliminary determination of l least significant bits of the exponent difference (alignment difference) reduces hardware cost while decreasing performance as l increases.
