Why is my floating point math so inaccurate? If you lurk on embedded C forums for much time at all you will run into a question like this: “Why is my floating point math so inaccurate? I do a few ...

If you are used to writing software for modern machines, you probably don’t think much about computing something like one divided by three. Modern computers handle floating point quite well. However, ...

BOSTON — It’s drenched in irony. When Joe Mazzulla comes under fire, it’s often because his critics believe his team shoots too many 3-pointers. It’s not usual for him to be on the other side of the ...

If there’s one thing that a lot of small microcontrollers hate (and that includes the AVR-based Arduini), it’s floating-point numbers. And if there’s another thing they hate it’s division. For ...

Because so many microcontrollers now include a floating-point unit (FPU) that performs math operations, engineers can tackle a wider range of applications that rely on precise values for control ...
