Editor's Note: This is the first article in a two-part series on decimal representations and decimal arithmetic in general, and on Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) in particular. In this first installment, ...
While desktop computers have tons of computing power and storage, some small CPUs don’t have a lot of space to store things. What’s more is some CPUs don’t do multiplication and division very well.
Over the last few months I've come to the conclusion that most of us have an innate faith that we understand the concepts behind BCD (binary coded decimal), but that in reality the majority of us ...
When anyone is first introduced to the topic of digital computers, they are almost invariably told that these machines are based on binary (base-2) logic and the binary number system, where “binary” ...
In the computer, all data are represented as binary digits (bits), and eight binary digits make up one byte. For example, the upper case letter A is 0101001. Numbers however can take several forms.
Decimal arithmetic is indispensable in applications where precision is paramount, such as in financial, commercial and scientific domains. The inherent challenges of decimal computation, particularly ...
Abstract: In this paper, we present a performance comparison of Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) Adders on Field Programmable Gate Logic (FPGA) for functional and behavioural verification. Although it does ...
