This library implements pipelined floating point arithmetic units in the Chisel hardware description language. They can be used as third-party IP blocks in your Chisel or Verilog hardware descriptions.
There are modules for floating point addition and multiplication. Both single-precision and double-precision numbers are supported.
- FPMult32, FPMult64 - Single-precision and double-precision multipliers with single-cycle pipeline latency
- FPAdd32, FPAdd64 - Single-precision and double-precision adders with three cycle pipeline latency
Note: These modules have not been thoroughly verified. Though the basic functionality is known to work, there may be corner cases which are not handled properly. In particular, there is no support for NaN, infinity, or denormalized numbers other than zero. There is also no exponent overflow or underflow detection. If you care about these things, do not use these modules.
val adder = Module(new FPAdd32())
adder.io.a := FIRST_INPUT
adder.io.b := SECOND_INPUT
OUTPUT := adder.io.res
The other modules have the same interface.
