Abstract:
An accumulating operator is applicable to a digital data processor to realize an output floating point number in response to a first floating point number and a second floating point number. The accumulating operator comprises a splitter dividing the first floating point number into a third floating point number and a compensation number, wherein an exponent of the third floating point number is equal to or greater than the exponent of the second floating point number; an accumulator electrically connected to the splitter for operating the second and third floating point numbers to realize a fourth floating point number; and a compensator electrically connected to the splitter and the accumulator for operating the fourth floating point number and the compensation number to realize the output floating point number. Via compensation, the precision of the floating point operation can be improved.
