  2. Decimal floating point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_floating_point

    For example, while a fixed-point representation that allocates 8 decimal digits and 2 decimal places can represent the numbers 123456.78, 8765.43, 123.00, and so on, a floating-point representation with 8 decimal digits could also represent 1.2345678, 1234567.8, 0.000012345678, 12345678000000000, and so on.

    That is, the value of an octal "10" is the same as a decimal "8", an octal "20" is a decimal "16", and so on. In a hexadecimal system, there are 16 digits, 0 through 9 followed, by convention, with A through F. That is, a hexadecimal "10" is the same as a decimal "16" and a hexadecimal "20" is the same as a decimal "32".

    The AMD Radeon R9 290X (Sapphire OEM version pictured here) uses a 512-bit memory bus.. The Intel Xeon Phi has a vector processing unit with 512-bit vector registers, each one holding sixteen 32-bit elements or eight 64-bit elements, and one instruction can operate on all these values in parallel.

  5. 256-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/256-bit_computing

    Xbox 360 was the first high-definition gaming console to utilize the ATI Technologies 256-bit GPU Xenos [2] before the introduction of the current gaming consoles especially Nintendo Switch. Some buses on the newer System on a chip (e.g. Tegra developed by Nvidia ) utilize 64-bit, 128-bit, 256-bit, or higher.

  6. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    Another common way of expressing the base is writing it as a decimal subscript after the number that is being represented (this notation is used in this article). 1111011 2 implies that the number 1111011 is a base-2 number, equal to 123 10 (a decimal notation representation), 173 8 and 7B 16 (hexadecimal).

  7. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

    Many non-integral values, such as decimal 0.2, have an infinite place-value representation in binary (.001100110011...) but have a finite place-value in binary-coded decimal (0.0010). Consequently, a system based on binary-coded decimal representations of decimal fractions avoids errors representing and calculating such values.

  8. decimal32 floating-point format - Wikipedia

    (The 8 × 3 = 24 non-standard encodings fill in the gap from 10 3 = 1000 and 2 10 - 1 = 1023. Benefit of this encoding is access to individual digits by de- / encoding only 10 bits, disadvantage is that some simple functions like sort and compare, very frequently used in coding, do not work on the bit pattern but require decoding to decimal ...

  9. Decimal computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_computer

    One of the few RISC instruction sets to directly support decimal is IBM's Power ISA, which added support for IEEE 754-2008 decimal floating-point starting with Power ISA 2.05. Decimal integer support had been part of their mainframe line, and as part of the broader effort to merge the iSeries and zSeries decimal arithmetic was added to the ...
