Abstract :
This paper presents the implementation of a 16-bit interval floating-point unit on a soft-core processor to allow interval computations for embedded systems. The distributed localization of a source using a network of sensors is presented to compare the performance of the proposed processor to that obtained with a general- purpose processor.
