Abstract

Floating point arithmetic is widely used in many areas, especially scientific computation and signal processing. For many signal processing, and graphics applications, it is acceptable to trade off some accuracy (in the least significant bit positions) for faster and better implementations. However, most of these modern applications need higher frequency or low latency of operations with minimal area occupancy. In this paper we describe an implementation of high speed IEEE 754 double precision floating point multiplier using tiling technique and targeted for Xilinx Virtex-6 Field Programmable Gate Array. Verilog is used to implement the design. The design achieved 436.815 MFlops with latency of seven clock cycles which is 97% fast compared to Xilinx floating point multiplier core. It handles the overflow, underflow cases and truncation rounding mode.
