Abstract :
To unify numerical techniques in scientific calculations and control processes, a systematic numerical-data word-oriented method is proposed. The number of separate arithmetic instructions required is drastically reduced. Wired simple-precision floating-point operators can be used alternatively as autonomous operators or as basic cells for multiple-precision operators.
