Abstract

It is the trend to adopt the Floating-point Unit(FPU)in the structure of CPU.A fast single precision floating point arithmetic unit is proposed and realized based on the FPGA.Pipelining and parallel processing are applied to the arithmetic unit,so that floating point operation speed has been significantly improved.The successful simulation results on QUARTUSII 7.1 show that the arithmetic unit can operate at 40.5 MHz clock frequency and complete all kinds of addition,subtraction,multiplication and division operations quickly and accurately.
