binary-coded decimal (BCD) is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each digit is represented by a fixed number of bits, usually four or eight. Both Zoned Decimal and Packed Decimal ...

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, ...

Abstract: The binary coded decimal (BCD) encoding has always dominated the decimal arithmetic algorithms and their hardware implementation. Due to importance of decimal arithmetic, the decimal format ...

HERE’S A C/C++ PROGRAM that converts decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 99,999 to binary and binary coded decimal (BCD) formats. Using a simple algorithm in conjunction with pointer arithmetic and ...

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 ...

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.

Abstract: This plan concentrates on the design and implementation of a seven-segment display controller that operates using a 4-bit binary or BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal) input. Designed using 18nm ...
