Abstract
Nowadays the integration degree achieved by deep sub-micron technologies allows the implementation of complex applications in current FPGAs. This is the case of computations that use floating-point arithmetic, which require large amounts of resources and long design times. Thus, the availability of libraries of floating-point operators can significantly help designers when dealing with this kind of applications. Furthermore, the encapsulation of the components of this library becomes a must to ease the automation of the design cycle, which is currently under research. In this work we present a standard floating-point library fully compliant with the IEEE standard. The multiple design choices of the designed operators have been collected and encapsulated through the definition of a high level interface using the xHDL language. This encapsulation considerably simplifies the handling of the floating-point operators carried out by system tools.
