Computer arithmetic; proceedings.0769523668 Computer arithmetic; proceedings. IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. Symposium on Computer Arithmetic (17th: 2005: Cape Cod Cape Cod, narrow peninsula of glacial origin, 399 sq mi (1,033 sq km), SE Mass., extending 65 mi (105 km) E and N into the Atlantic Ocean. It is generally flat, with sand dunes, low hills, and numerous lakes. , Massachusetts) Computer Society Press 2003 283 pages $186.00 Hardcover QA76.9 This volume contains all the papers presented at the June 2005 IEEE Symposium on Computer Arithmetic as well as abstracts from the keynote talk given by William Kahan William Morton Kahan (born June 5, 1933, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a mathematician and computer scientist whose main area of contribution has been numerical analysis. and from the panel sessions on "Pain Versus Gain in the Hardware Design of FPUs and Supercomputers on a Chip" and "A Programmer's View of Computer Arithmetic and Standardization." The 34 papers by authors from 13 countries report on the state-of-the-art techniques for computer arithmetic currently or soon to be in use, such as the Cell processor's SPU SPU Seattle Pacific University SPU Seattle Public Utilities SPU Strategy and Policy Unit SPU Sripatum University (Thailand) SPU Split, Croatia (Airport Code) SPU Synergistic Processor Unit for video game systems. Techniques for performing complex arithmetic functions, such as inverse tangent Noun 1. inverse tangent - the inverse function of the tangent; the angle that has a tangent equal to a given number arc tangent, arctan, arctangent on recently released microprocessors, are also presented. Together, the papers, panel sessions and keynote address provide a spectrum of all current academic and development research in computer arithmetic. ([c] 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
