  • Apparatus and method for processing floating point values
    Patent number: 10503472
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for processing floating point values using an intermediate representation which has significand, exponent and shadow sections. A less significant portion of the exponent of the floating point value defines a range of positions within the significand section where the representation of the significand is to be held. The exponent section holds a representation of a more significant portion of the exponent indicating a selected window of multiple contiguous windows spanning a value range of a format of the floating point value. A first portion of the significand section corresponds to the selected window and a second portion corresponds to an overlap into a further window which is adjacent to and lower in the value range.
