Two floating-point numbers are added to form a floating-point sum: (F 1 x 2 E 1 )
Question:
Two floating-point numbers are added to form a floating-point sum:
(F1 x 2E1) + (F2 x 2E2) = F x 2E
Assume that F1 and F2 are normalized and the result should be normalized.
(a) List the steps required to carry out floating-point addition, including all special cases.
(b) Illustrate these steps for F1 = 1.0101, E1 = 1001, F2 = 0.1010, and E2 = 1000. The fractions are 5 bits, including sign, and the exponents are 4 bits, including sign.
(c) Write a Verilog description of the system.
