Title: FPGA Implementation of Multiplier for Floating-Point Numbers Based on IEEE 754-2008 Standard
Abstract: This paper illustrates designing and implementation process of floating point multiplier on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Floating-point operations are used in many fields like, digital signal processing, digital image processing, multimedia data analysis etc. Implementation of floating-point multiplication is handy and easy for high level language. However it is a challenging task to implement a floating-point multiplication in hardware level/low level language due to the complexity of algorithm. A top-down approach has been applied for the prototyping of IEEE 754-2008 standard floating-point multiplier module using Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL). Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool of Altera Quartus II has been used for floating-point multiplier. The hardware implementation has been done by downloading the Verilog code onto Altera DE2 FPGA development board and found a satisfactory performance.
